The conjugated structure enables the polymer to have strong absorption in a visible light region, and high iodine content of up to 84.1% corresponds to the strong imaging ability thereof. During surgery, on the basis of the dual guidance of a polymer-based image marker and naked eye observation, the marker can better facilitate determination of tumor resection margins, achieving precise resection of tumors and minimizing damage to surrounding normal tissues. During cyberknife-based treatment, the polymer can replace clinical gold markers to provide ray marker guidance.

  • Publication number: 20250020751
    Abstract: The present invention provides a parallel binary model for measuring a capacitance value of a gate oxide layer of a gate oxide MOS device. The parallel binary model is a parallel circuit model formed through parallel connection of a parallel capacitor Cp and an equivalent resistor Rp. The parallel binary model is used to measure the gate oxide MOS device through an LCR meter by adopting frequency f1 to obtain parallel capacitance Cp1 and parallel conductance Gp1. A dissipation factor D1 is calculated. In a case that D1<0.1, the measured parallel capacitance Cp1 is the capacitance value of the gate oxide layer of the gate oxide MOS device. In a case that D1>0.1, the parallel binary model is used to measure the gate oxide MOS device through the LCR meter by adopting frequency f2 to obtain parallel capacitance Cp2 and parallel conductance Gp2.
