TL;DR: The photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a clinically approved, minimally invasive therapeutic procedure that can exert a selective cytotoxic activity toward malignant cells as discussed by the authors, which can prolong survival in patients with inoperable cancers and significantly improve quality of life.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of normal tissue hydrogen NMR relaxation times and relaxation mechanisms from 1-100 MHz: dependence on tissue type, NMR frequency, temperature, species, excision, and age.
TL;DR: The longitudinal (T1) and transverse (T2) hydrogen (1H) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxation times of normal human and animal tissue are compiled and reviewed as a function of tissue type, NMR frequency, temperature, species, in vivo versus in vitro status, time after excision, and age.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A mathematical model of the Type II mechanism of photooxidation is used to compute estimates of the rate of therapy-dependent in vivo oxygen depletion resulting from reactions of singlet oxygen (1O2) with intracellular substrate and suggests that the oxygen depletion could be partially overcome by fractionating the light delivery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design and testing of a white-light, steady-state diffuse reflectance spectrometer for determination of optical properties of highly scattering systems
TL;DR: A steady-state radially resolved diffuse reflectance spectrometer capable of measuring the absorption and transport scattering spectra of tissue-simulating phantoms over an adjustable 170-nm wavelength interval in the visible and near infrared is presented.
