## Abstract The widespread acceptance of photodynamic therapy (PDT), a potential adjuvant brain tumor therapy under clinical evaluation since 1980, has been partially restrained by its potential toxicity toward normal brain tissue. This study examined PDTโproduced injury of normal rat brain as a fu
## Background and objective: A technique to manufacture a stable, reproducible three-dimensional optical phantom is presented. this phantom reproduces the tissue's optical properties as well as the geometry and, to some extent, the mechanical properties of the organ concerned. easy to make and to h
Using normal rat liver we investigated the depth of necrosis induced by photodynamic therapy when different light doses and photosensitizer (Photogemยฎ) concentrations. All experiments were done with a fluence rate of 250 mW/cm^2^. Photosensitizer concentration was varied from 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 5.0
