the design and implementation of smart implants. Thermographic phosphors offer a precise
and remotely accessible sensing method that has been utilized here. We present the first in
vivo X-ray images of La2O2S: Eu-doped crosslinked silica aerogels and
polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with increasing dopant concentrations. Results show that
native PDMS and crosslinked silica aerogel do not show noticeable attenuation of X-rays …
