A device for applying light in photodynamic therapy is arranged to apply light in a pattern corresponding to the configuration of the lesion to be treated. The device may be customized in response to an image of the patient acquired before treatment. Alternatively, the device may include sensors for detecting a characteristic of tissue overlying each region of the device so that the device either emits light or does not emit light in each region depending upon the characteristics of the overlying tissue.

摘要:
An invention is described which uses quenchable phosphors to achieve a novel emission response in intensifying screens. The quenchable phosphor has the characteristic of reducing its efficiency of converting incident x-ray, gamma ray, or ionizing particulate radiations into emitted radiation in the ultraviolet (UV), visible or infrared (IR) regions of the electromagnetic spectrum when being essentially simultaneously irradiated by a spectrum of radiation of a specific range in the UV to visible to IR spectrum. The quenchable phosphor is combined with another class of phosphor, which emits the spectrum of radiation when struck by ionizing radiation which is similar or identical to the quenching radiation of the quenchable phosphor. These phosphors can be combined in a variety of geometrical manners, both homogeneously and heterogeneously, to achieve extended dynamic range and spatial frequency filtering for radiographic imaging systems. The invention has equal application for electronic imaging systems such as x-ray image intensifiers. In addition, a system comprising the quenchable phosphors can be built in such a manner as to overcome the optical stage quantum sink limitations in electronic imaging.
摘要:
Rare earth oxysulfide phosphors with excellent optical properties and optimum particle size control for use as cathodo-luminescent phosphors in cathode ray tubes are prepared by treating a solution of at least one salt of a rare earth metal and a salt of a rare earth activator to form solid salts and thereafter heating the oxidic compound with a sulfidizing agent and a silicon sensitizer, preferably in the presence of a fluoride. The rare earth oxysulfide phosphors thus obtained contain from 10 to 1,000 p.p.m. silicon sensitizer and, if used, 20 to 500 p.p.m. fluoride, incorporated in the crystal lattice structure.
