## Abstract ## Background and Objectives Previous studies with PhotoDynamic Therapy (PDT) in bladder and bronchi have shown that due to scattering and reflection, the actually delivered fluence rate on the surface in a hollow organ can be significantly higher than expected. In this pilot study, we
## Abstract ## Background and Objective A human glioma spheroid model is used to investigate the efficacy of different light delivery schemes in 5βaminolevulinic acid (ALA)βmediated photodynamic therapy (PDT). The results provide the rationale for the development of an indwelling balloon applicato
Background. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is being evaluated for treatment of localized head and neck cancer. ''Light dose'' is usually prescribed as incident fluence, which takes no account of reflected and scattered light. This study investigates variations in total tissue fluence for a given inciden
