THE MEASUREMENT OF DIHEMATOPORPHYRIN ETHER CONCENTRATION IN TISSUE BY REFLECTANCE SPECTROPHOTOMETRY
Abstract
Abstract The in vivo quantitation of local photosensitizer concentration is an important problem in photodynamic therapy because tumor response depends on this parameter. This paper describes a new method for measuring dihematoporphyrin ether (DHE) concentration by reflectance spectrophotometry—a technique which could be applied to other photosensitizers. The absorbance due to the 630 nm absorption peak of DHE was determined by obtaining …
