Blood Flow Measurements Enable Optimization of Light Delivery for Personalized Photodynamic Therapy

Blood Flow Measurements Enable Optimization of Light Delivery for Personalized Photodynamic Therapy

Fluence rate is an effector of photodynamic therapy (PDT) outcome. Lower light fluence rates can conserve tumor perfusion during some illumination protocols for PDT, but then treatment times are proportionally longer to deliver equivalent fluence. Likewise, higher fluence rates can shorten treatment...
