The near‐infrared window between 1000 and 1700 nm, commonly termed the “second near‐
infrared (NIR‐II) window,” has quickly emerged as a highly attractive optical region for …

Effective treatment delivery in photodynamic therapy (PDT) requires coordination of the light
source, the photosensitizer, and the delivery device appropriate to the target tissue. Lasers …

The reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated mechanism is the major cause underlying the
efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT). The PDT procedure is based on the cascade of …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a clinically approved cancer therapy, based on a
photochemical reaction between a light activatable molecule or photosensitizer, light, and …

X-rays are widely applied in clinical medical facilities for radiotherapy (RT) and biomedical
imaging. However, the sole use of X-rays for cancer treatment leads to insufficient radiation …

A review of reported tissue optical properties summarizes the wavelength-dependent
behavior of scattering and absorption. Formulae are presented for generating the optical …

A survey of the literature is presented that provides an analysis of the optical properties of
human skin, with particular regard to their applications in medicine. Included is a description …

Nowadays, dynamically developing optical (photonic) technologies play an ever-increasing
