Study of Nanomaterials for X-Ray Photodynamic Therapy
A prototype of an apparatus for studying the X-ray fluorescence properties of nanomaterials for X-ray photodynamic therapy was developed. The X-ray fluorescence characteristics of nanomaterials based on gadolinium fluorides were studied. For a series of samples, X-ray fluorescence spectra were obtained in the region of 600–700 nm, which allows concluding such materials to be promising for use as components of radiosensitizers for X-ray photodynamic therapy. The data obtained are important for optimizing the characteristics of nanomaterials and for further modification of the parameters of the methods for synthesizing new materials for X-ray photodynamic therapy.
