The Method of Light Dose Measurement During Phodinamic Therapy

Abstract

A new method of light dose monitoring during the photodynamic therapy of abdominal cavity organs was developed. To apply this method specially developed sensors were constructed. For these sensors the temporal and distance dependences of light doses were received and analyzed. It was shown that the light dose from the operating lamp is large enough in laser light field to be taken into account when planning photodynamic therapy.
