| 20090084960 | High Detective Quantum Efficiency X-ray Detectors - An image acquisition apparatus includes a conversion layer for generating electrons in response to electromagnetic radiation photons, and a first semiconducting layer adjacent to the conversion layer for generating electron-hole pairs in response to electrons generated by the conversion layer. | 04-02-2009 |
| 20090264968 | BREAST TREATMENT MACHINE - An apparatus for irradiating a breast of a patient includes a radiation source, a structure adapted to hold a breast of a patient in receiving a radiation from the radiation source, and a vacuum source. The structure includes a member having an interior generally conformal to a shape of the patient's breast when the breast is uncompressed or pendulous. The vacuum source is adapted to provide a negative pressure in the interior of the member, whereby in use of the apparatus with the patient in a supine position, the breast is held in the generally uncompressed shape. A method of irradiating a breast of a patient includes the steps of placing a breast of a patient in a structure which includes a member having an interior generally conformal to a shape of the patient's breast when pendulous or uncompressed, applying a negative pressure in the interior, thereby bringing the breast in contact with the member in the generally uncompressed shape, and delivering a radiation beam to the breast of the patient in a supine position. | 10-22-2009 |
| 20100016649 | External Beam Radiotherapy And Imaging With Radioactive Isotope - A method of delivering external radiation beams to a target volume in a body portion includes positioning a radioactive isotope source at a plurality of locations spaced apart around the body portion, and collimating radiation beams of the radioactive isotope source from the plurality of locations, whereby the target volume in the body portion is deposited with a predetermined dose distribution. A radiation device employs a member having a configuration adapted to surround a body portion to be irradiated. The member has a channel and a plurality of collimators spaced apart along and coupled to the channel. The plurality of collimators define a plurality of dwelling locations for a radioactive isotope source in the channel and are configured to collimate radiation beams of the radioactive isotope source. | 01-21-2010 |
| 20100072382 | APPARATUS OF PHOTOCONDUCTOR CRYSTAL GROWTH - An image acquisition device comprises a photoconductor, a substrate including a detector array, and an interlayer between the photoconductor and the substrate, wherein the interlayer is formed of molecules having a first ligand and a second ligand. | 03-25-2010 |
| 20100098214 | Methods and Systems for Treating Breast Cancer Using External Beam Radiation - A radiation apparatus includes a radiation source movable in translational and/or rotational degrees of freedom, and a structure adapted to support a body. The structure is provided with an opening to allow a portion of the body passing through to be exposed to at least a portion of the therapeutic radiation while in use. | 04-22-2010 |
| 20100102244 | Methods and Systems for Treating Cancer Using External Beam Radiation - A radiation system employs magnetic field to move particle beams and radiation sources. The radiation system includes a source operable to produce a particle beam, a scanning magnet operable to scan the particle beam, and a target configured to be impinged by at least a portion of the scanned particle beam to produce radiation. | 04-29-2010 |
