Understanding the distribution of light in tissue is necessary for dosimetry in photodynamic
therapy of malignant tumors. Attenuation measurements from implanted fiber optic sources …

In this chapter, the various experimental techniques which have been developed to measure
the optical scattering and absorption properties of tissues are discussed, together with the …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) for cancer in the oesophagus and bronchi with red (630 nm)
light may occasionally lead to wall perforation and fistula. Therefore, we investigated the …

The tools of nanodiagnostics, nanotherapy, and nanorobotics are expected to revolutionize
the future of medicine, leading to presymptomatic diagnosis of disease, highly effective …

A novel approach for precise determination of the optical scattering and absorption
properties of porcine tissue using an optimized integrating sphere setup was applied …

Abstract Background and Objective Laser surgery does not provide haptic feedback for
operating layer‐by‐layer and thereby preserving vulnerable anatomical structures like nerve …

The role of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in the treatment of primary non-melanoma skin
cancer is examined. Prolonged systemic skin photosensitivity limits the usefulness of PDT …

Conjugates of oligonucleotides with chlorin-type photosensitizers were prepared. Two
chlorin moieties, CPP and CHEVP, characterized by a modified pyrrole unit bearing an …

Krebs hat sich in den letzten Jahrzehnten zu einer der häufigsten krankheitsbedingten
Todesursachen der Welt entwickelt. Neben den am häufigsten angewendeten Techniken …

In a recent paper (Wilson et al. ibid., vol. 31, p. 125-33, 1986) the authors described
measurements of the effective penetration depth of 630 nm light in brain tissue, which were …
