Optimization of the Distance between Cylindrical Light Distributors Used for Interstitial Light Delivery in Biological Tissues

Optimization of the Distance between Cylindrical Light Distributors Used for Interstitial Light Delivery in Biological Tissues

Cylindrical light diffusers (CLDs) are often employed for the treatment of large tumors by interstitial photodynamic therapy (iPDT) and photoimmunotherapy (PIT), which involves careful treatment planning to maximize therapeutic dose coverage while minimizing the number of CLDs used. There is, howeve...
