A phononic MEMS spectrophotometer (PMS) comprising a photonic source and a photonic detector wherein a photonic beam from the photonic source is directed through a fluid of interest and terminated into a photonic detector. The fluid may be a gas or a liquid. A preferred embodiment comprising phononic MEMS structure is nanowires formed with phononic crystal structure. Phononic nanowire support structure provides increased thermal isolation in pixels comprising thermal micro-platforms. In embodiments, a micro-platform is thermally isolated to an extent that it cools itself through spontaneous blackbody radiation at room temperature.

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for measuring the radiation emitted from the therapeutic radiation source. One variation of a radiotherapy system includes a radiation measurement device that is coupled to a radiotherapy system housing. The radiation measurement device may be movably coupled to the housing, and its position and/or motion is independent from the position and/or motion of the therapeutic radiation source. In one variation, the radiation measurement device is at a location on the system housing where it may measure exit beams with little or no interference with entrance beams. Also disclosed herein are radiotherapy systems that include one or more radiopaque or radiation emitting fiducials coupled to the housing.

A radiation therapy treatment plan can be adjusted concurrently with delivery of the therapy in order to compensate for changes in a position of a target. For example, at least two image slices, taken from different in-plane directions, can be used to estimate motion in a through-plane direction substantially orthogonal to the in-plane directions. A machine learning model can be trained with interpolations from a sequence of in-plane image slices, the motion estimated therefrom in the through-plane direction, or both to predict 3D motion.
