Abstract:
There is herein described a nanovesicle comprising a bilayer of porphyrin-phospholipid conjugates. Each porphyrin-phospholipid conjugate comprises one porphyrin, porphyrin derivative or porphyrin analog covalently attached to a lipid side chain at one of the sn-1 or the sn-2 positions of one phospholipid. Further, the nanovesicle has a defined regioisomeric ratio of sn-1:sn-2 porphyrin-phospholipid conjugates.
Abstract:
A radiation therapy planning system includes a planning module (20) which receives a first planning image set from a diagnostic imaging apparatus (10) and uses automatic segmentation tools (22) or manual segmentation tools (24) and a radiation therapy planning system (32) to generate a first radiation therapy plan. After the first radiation therapy plan has been applied for one or more therapy sessions, a second planning image set is generated. The planning module (20) uses a deformable image registration algorithm (30) to register the planning image set sand generate a corresponding deformation map which is applied to segmented objects of interest (OOIs) of the segmented first planning image set to propagate the objects of interest onto the second planning image set. The deformation map is corrected in accordance with deviations between the propagated and actual OOI locations in two steps: 1) manual and/or automated corrections of the propagated OOIs are performed, such as region of interest contour corrections and/or landmark point of interest positions; 2) a corrected global deformation map is generated from these local OOI corrections. The corrected deformation map is applied to the first radiation therapy plan and an accumulated radiation map depicting the radiation accumulated in each OOI during the therapy session(s) implemented with the first radiation therapy plan.

Abstract:
Various embodiments are described herein for an area integrated fluence monitoring sensor that can be used to measure a radiation dose. The sensor comprises at least one Gradient Ion Chamber (GIC) comprising an ion chamber having a volume gradient across a length or width thereof, a gas or liquid located within the ion chamber and an electrode to detect ions generated within the gas or liquid when the at least one GIC is subjected to an ionizing radiation beam. Various embodiments are also described herein for an Integral Quality Monitoring system and associated method that can be used to measure and monitor the quality of radiation doses provided by a radiation treatment system.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a composition comprising an isolated nucleic acid sequence that specifically hybridizes to at least one of SEQ ID NO:1, SEQ ID NO:3, SEQ ID NO:5, SEQ ID NO:7, SEQ ID NO:9 and their complements. The composition is useful as a probe to detect the presence of at least one allele of three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are associated with renal disease, cataract, cardiovascular disease and longevity.
