X-ray luminescence computed tomography (XLCT) is proposed as a new dual molecular/anatomical imaging modality. XLCT is based on the selective excitation and optical detection of x-ray-excitable nanoparticles. As a proof of concept, we built a prototype XLCT system and imaged near-IR-emitting Gd(2)O(2)S:Eu phosphors in various phantoms. Imaging in an optically diffusive medium shows that imaging performance is not affected by optical scatter; furthermore, the linear response of the reconstructed images suggests that XLCT is capable of quantitative imaging.

Article Synopsis
- CB-XLCT is an advanced imaging technique that uses X-ray-excitable nanoparticles, offering better depth and less interference than traditional methods like bioluminescence and fluorescence imaging.
- The DeepCB-XLCT network enhances the imaging process by mapping the distribution of nanoparticles to fluorescent signals more accurately, incorporating advanced loss functions for better target shape restoration.
- Experiments show that DeepCB-XLCT significantly improves reconstruction accuracy in terms of contrast and shape similarity, highlighting its effectiveness for multi-target imaging applications.

Due to their persistent luminescence, persistent luminescent (PersL) materials have attracted great interest. In the biomedical field, the use of persistent luminescent nanoparticles (PLNPs) eliminates the need for continuous in situ excitation, thereby avoiding interference from tissue autofluorescence and significantly improving the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Although persistent luminescence materials can emit light continuously, the luminescence intensity of small-sized nanoparticles in vivo decays quickly.

Fluorescence imaging in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II) has become a prevalent choice owing to its appealing advantages like deep penetration depth, low autofluorescence, decent spatiotemporal resolution, and a high signal-to-background ratio. This would expedite the innovation of NIR-II imaging-guided drug delivery (IGDD) paradigms for the improvement of the prognosis of patients with tumors. This work systematically reviews the recent progress of such NIR-II IGDD-mediated cancer therapeutics and collectively brings its essence to the readers.

X-ray luminescence imaging (XLI) and x-ray luminescence computed tomography (XLCT) are both contrast agent-based imaging methods that employ x-ray excitable scintillating imaging probes that emit light to be measured for optical imaging. In this work, we compared the performance of several select imaging probes, both commercial and self-synthesized, for application in XLI/XLCT imaging.

Ln-ion-doped nanomaterials possess excellent properties because of their high color purity, longer excited state lifetime, narrow emission, and large Stokes shifts. In this work, we studied the correlation between the luminescence properties of LaHfO:Eu pyrochlore nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized by a molten salt synthesis (MSS) method at a relatively low temperature and several MSS processing durations (from 1 to 12 h). We synthesized these NPs with different sizes just by changing the MSS processing time without subjecting to high temperature.
