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
## Background: A variety of protocols exist for the treatment of bowen's disease by photodynamic therapy (pdt) using topical 5-aminolaevulinic acid (5-ala). ## Objective: To determine the optimal wavelength (red or green light) for this treatment. ## Methods: A randomized comparison study of al
## 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
