The purpose of this review is to present the current state of the role of imaging in
photodynamic therapy (PDT). For the reader to fully appreciate the context of the discussions …

Porphyrinic molecules have a unique theranostic role in disease therapy; they have been
used to image, detect and treat different forms of diseased tissue including age-related …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) uses light-activated drugs to treat diseases ranging from
cancer to age-related macular degeneration and antibiotic-resistant infections. This paper …

Laser Doppler velocimetry uses the frequency shift produced by the Doppler effect to
measure velocity. It can be used to monitor blood flow or other tissue movement in the body …

Background/aims: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non‐invasive technique for
morphological investigation of tissue. Since its development in the late 1980s it is mainly …

In this paper, we review the developments in optical coherence tomography (OCT) for three-
dimensional non-invasive imaging. A number of different OCT techniques are discussed in …

We report the development of an optical technique for noninvasive imaging of in vivo blood
flow dynamics and tissue structures with high spatial resolution (2–10?? µm) in biological …

In the present applications of optical coherence tomography (OCT), parameters besides
pure morphology are evaluated in skin tissue under in vivo conditions. Spatially mapped …

A guidance system for assisting with the insertion of a needle into a patient body is
disclosed. The guidance system utilizes ultrasound imaging or other suitable imaging …

Optical Doppler tomography (ODT) is an imaging modality that takes advantage of the short
coherence length of a broad-band light sources to perform micrometer-scale, cross-sectional …
