Absorbed photodynamic dose from pulsed versus continuous wave light examined with tissue-simulating dosimeters.
Abstract
A dosimetric system has been developed to measure the spatially resolved light dose absorbed by a photosensitizer in a tissue-simulating medium. These gelatin-based dosimeters had macroscopic optical scattering and absorption properties that are typical for homogeneous tissue and contained the photosensitizer benzoporphyrin derivative monoacid (BPD-MA). A reporter molecule, 2?7?-dichlorofluorescin diacetate (DCF-DA), served as an actinometer, …
