Article Abstract

The self-assembly of uranyl cations, oxalic acid, and homopiperazine under melt-assisted reaction conditions resulted in a 0D uranyl molecular complex, UO(HOX)(HO)·HPIP·2HO (), which includes free water and homopiperazine molecules. This unique complex exhibits significant fluorescence quenching upon UV and X-ray irradiation. The fluorescence quenching is attributed to radiation-induced oxalate free radicals. Moreover, demonstrates excellent radiolytic and humidity stability, making it a promising dosimeter for X-ray dose detection in harsh environments. Additionally, the dual signals from radiation-induced free radicals and fluorescence quenching enable its use for dual-platform X-ray dose detection.

Ionizing radiation is widely used in insect sterilization for pest control using the Sterile Insect Technique, which consists of the mass rearing of insects and their irradiation with gamma rays to release them in target areas where they will mate with wild females. However, there is a concern and controversy about the nuclear origin applied in this technique. One alternative for sterilization is the use of X-rays, which do not have a nuclear origin, are easier to operate, and do not generate radioactive waste.

Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for lung cancer involves complex multileaf collimator (MLC) motion, which increases sensitivity to interplay effects with tumour motion. Current dynamic conformal arc methods address this issue but may limit the achievable dose distribution optimisation compared with standard VMAT. This study examined the clinical utility of a VMAT technique with monitor unit limits (VMATliMU) to mimic conformal arc delivery and reduce interplay effects while maintaining plan quality.

Background: Stroke, frequently associated with carotid artery disease, is evaluated using carotid computed tomography angiography (CTA). Dual-energy CTA (DE-CTA) enhances imaging quality but presents challenges in maintaining high image clarity with low-dose scans.

Objectives: To compare the image quality of 50 keV virtual monoenergetic images (VMI) generated using Deep Learning Image Reconstruction (DLIR) and Adaptive Statistical Iterative Reconstruction-V (ASIR-V) algorithms under a triple-low scanning protocol in carotid CTA.

Background The prognostic value of baseline visual emphysema scoring at low-dose CT (LDCT) in lung cancer screening cohorts is unknown. Purpose To determine whether a single visual emphysema score at LDCT is predictive of 25-year mortality from all causes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Materials and Methods In this prospective cohort study, asymptomatic adults aged 40-85 years with a history of smoking underwent baseline LDCT screening for lung cancer between June 2000 and December 2008.
