...energy (usually from electromagnetic radiation or light). When lanthanides are illuminated with visible light, their electrons absorb the energy contained within the incoming photons of light, and most of this energy is, in turn, emitted in the form of light within the visible and near-infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum. In medical imaging,...
