Optical characteristics of human lung cancer for photodynamic therapy with measured absorption and reduced scattering coefficients
Our analysis revealed the influence of the optical characteristics of the lung tissue on PDT light delivery. Integration of these results with the photosensitizer dose and the degree of necrosis changes will allow us to provide more clinically relevant insight in determining PDT dosimetry.
