## Abstract ## Background and Objective The main factors in photodynamic therapy (PDT) are: photosensitizer retention, photon absorption, and oxygen supply. Each factor has its unique set of problems that poses limitation to the treatment. Both light delivery and oxygen supply are significant bott
## Background and objective: Light dosimetry for endobronchial photodynamic therapy is not very advanced to date. this study investigates the dependency of the fluence rate distribution in the bronchial wall on several parameters. ## Study design/materials and methods: A monte carlo model is empl
