The aim of the proposed research is to utilize x-rays to improve cancer diagnosis and radiation treatment. I will build a novel x-ray imaging device allowing for accelerated development of cancer imaging agents and anti-cancer drugs. Additionally, I will investigate the use gold nanoparticles in radiation therapy, with the goal to reduce radiation therapy side effects. Lastly, I will design and build a novel x-ray source to deliver the proposed radiation therapy at a significantly lower cost compared to conventional radiation treatments.

拟议的研究的目的是利用X射线来改善癌症的诊断和放射治疗。我将制造一种新型的X射线成像装置，以加速癌症成像剂和抗癌药物的发展。此外，我将调查在放射治疗中使用金纳米颗粒，目的是减少放射治疗副作用。最后，与传统的放射治疗相比，我将设计和建造一种新型的X射线源，以较低的成本提供拟议的放射疗法。
