A feasibility evaluation of x-ray fluorescence emission tomography and x-ray luminescence tomography for real-time assessment of photodynamic therapy
… Therapy (PDT) has found use in a wide-array of clinical applications such as in cancer and acne treatment. Photodynamic therapy, uses a photosensitive compound activated by a specific wavelength photon to produce cytotoxic oxygen species (either in free radical form or in singlet form). …

Development of x-ray luminescence detection system and characterization of x-ray irradiated quantum dots for image-guided x-ray photodynamic therapy
The work in this thesis demonstrates X-ray luminescence (XL) detection system setup and XL quantification of X-ray irradiated quantum dots (QDs) to study efficiencies of X-ray photodynamic therapy (X-PDT). The XL detection system utilizes a light-sensitive electron-multiplying charge coupled device …

A tri-modality x-ray fluorescence, x-ray luminescence, x-ray transmission computed tomography imaging platform for monitoring and stimulating metal-containing nanoparticles
X-ray-activated photodynamic therapy (X-PDT) techniques have gained traction for its potential to impart therapeutic effects at greater depths than possible with traditional photodynamic therapy [1], [2]. Interestingly, the underlying X-PDT process could also generate X-ray fluorescence (XF) with …

Collimator width Optimization in X-ray Luminescent Computed Tomography
X-ray Luminescent Computed Tomography (XLCT) is a new imaging modality which is under extensive trials at present. The modality works by selective excitation of X-ray sensitive nanophosphors and detecting the optical signal thus generated. This system can be used towards recreating high quality …
