Patterning with UV and EUV light is described with organo tin sulfide (and selenide) clusters. The clusters are solids at room temperature and are soluble in organic solvents that are not too polar. Irradiation can either fragment a carbon metal bond or crosslink unsaturated organic moieties to stabilize the irradiated material. The irradiated material then resists dissolving in organic solvents so that the un-irradiated material can be contacted with an organic solvent to develop the latent image formed with the radiation. Radiation patternable layers can be formed through coating a solution or through vapor deposition. Corresponding precursor solutions, structures and methods are described.

Following DNA damage events, such as radiation therapy, cytosolic dsDNA species are generated that trigger intrinsic STimulator of Interferon Genes (STING) signaling and render cells competent for phagocytic activation contingent on the chemokine CCL5 (C-C Motif Ligand 5). Loss of STING signaling or inducible CCL5, rendered DNA-damaged cells incapable of APC stimulation following phagocytosis. STING signaling facilitated the generation of immunogenic endosomal vesicles comprising the autophagy related proteins RAB9 and LC3, and cytosolic DNA which triggered APC activation in trans, an event which also required extrinsic cGAS/STING-dependent signaling. Further, the combination of radiation treatment in the presence of type I IFN greatly reduced tumor growth while rescuing the ability to generate CTL activity. Reconstitution of STING signaling and/or the combination of radiation treatment in the presence of type I IFN could significantly augment cancer therapy.

The present disclosure is related to systems and methods for generating a radiation treatment plan for a treatment volume of a subject. The method includes retrieving a planning image of the treatment volume. The planning image may include a plurality of first voxels. The method also includes retrieving a treatment image that represents at least part of the treatment volume. The treatment image may include a plurality of second voxels. For at least one of the plurality of second voxels, the method further includes determining at least one reference voxel among the plurality of first voxels in the planning image and determining a dose value corresponding to the at least one second voxel. The method still further includes generating a radiation treatment plan based at least part on the dose value corresponding to the at least one second voxel.

A positron emission tomography (PET) scanner may include a plurality of gamma radiation detector modules arranged to form a detector ring. Each detector module may include an array of elongated scintillation crystals. With respect to the detector ring, each elongated scintillation crystal includes a proximal end-face, two axially oriented lateral faces, two transaxially oriented lateral faces, and a distal end-face radially oriented into the detector ring to receive a gamma photon. An array of photosensors is positioned along a first of the axially oriented lateral faces of each elongated scintillation crystal to detect scintillation photons. A reflective material is positioned on the proximal end-face, the distal end-face, the transaxially oriented lateral faces, and a second of the axially oriented lateral faces of each elongated scintillation crystal to internally reflect scintillation photons. In various embodiments, a dual-channel processing circuit provides distinct timing and energy signals from the photosensors.

Techniques for patient positioning quality assurance prior to mammographic image acquisition are described. A system may include an x-ray source configured to expose human tissue to radiation. An x-ray detector module may be configured to detect the radiation and generate a pre-diagnostic image of the human tissue. A position analysis module may be configured to receive the pre-diagnostic image and determine whether the human tissue is positioned correctly based upon one or more predefined positioning criteria. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium may be configured to store the results of the positional analysis module determination. A display may be configured to display the determination of the position analysis module within a user interface. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Disclosed herein is a method comprising: sending radiation pulses (i), i=1, . . . , M one by one toward an object and toward an image sensor as the image sensor moves nonstop in a first direction with respect to the object; and for each value of i, capturing with the image sensor a partial image (i) of the object using radiation of the radiation pulse (i) that has transmitted through the object. The image sensor comprises N active areas. Each active area of the N active areas comprises multiple sensing elements. For each value of i, the radiation pulse (i) has a pulse duration during which the image sensor travels a distance shorter than a width measured in the first direction of any sensing element of the image sensor. M and N are integers greater than 1.
