Methods and systems for calibrating radiological data associated with a tissue in a subject are provide. Various embodiments described herein analyze a radiological image of the tissue to calculate a raw value indicative of a biological parameter such as metabolic activity in the tissue, and analyze a microscopy image of the tissue to identify a distribution of cells of interest within the tissue. A calibrated value indicative of a biological parameter (e.g. metabolic activity) of cells of interest within the tissue is then calculated, by correcting the raw value based on the identified distribution of cells of interest within the tissue.

Calibrating radiological data based on cell distribution

A method () is disclosed for determining a medical imaging schedule for a subject receiving treatment at a target site. The method comprises obtaining () first blood panel information from a first blood sample acquired from the subject prior to the treatment commencing; obtaining () initial imaging data acquired in respect of the target site prior to the treatment commencing; obtaining () information regarding the treatment being received; and determining (), based on at least the first blood panel information, the initial imaging data and the treatment information, a time at which to capture first imaging data in respect of the target site in order to assess a response to the treatment. A system and a computer program product are also disclosed.

Determining a medical imaging schedule

A printed circuit is provided with a synthetic resin capping layer that exhibits a continuous variation of mechanical properties in a direction at right angles to its surface. The printed circuit can be in a mobile telephone or other portable device, and the capping layer of the printed circuit can optionally constitute the housing of the device.

Synthetic resin capping layer on a printed circuit

A method of manufacturing a ceramic multilayer component, comprising electrically conductive and electrically insulating layers which are stacked in alternate arrangement in a multilayer structure, which method comprises the following steps:

Method of manufacturing a multilayer electronic component

An optical system includes comprising a polarizing element in the form of a layer which comprises an isotropic material having a refractive index n.sub.i and an anisotropic material having refractive indices n.sub.a,e and n.sub.a,o. The refractive index n.sub.i is substantially equal to n.sub.a,e or n.sub.a,o. The optical system includes a retroflector for back-reflecting the polarization component diffused in the polarizing element.

Optical system which utilizes polarized light

A polycarbonate copolymer of a spirobisindan (6,6'-dihydroxy-3,3,3',3'-tetramethyl-1,1'-spirobisindan) and bisphenol-A in which the mole fraction of the spirobisindan .alpha. ranges between 0.844 and 0.887 is provided. Such a copolymer has a stress-optical coefficient C.sub.m in the melt which is equal to zero or substantially equal to zero, so that the sensitivity of the polymer to orientation birefringence is very small. Such a copolymer can be rendered optically isotropic and is very suitable for use in optical components in which birefringence is undesirable. Examples of such optical components are lenses and substrates for optical information media.
