Instrumentation for Interstitial Photodynamic Therapy of Prostatic Carcinoma

Instrumentation for Interstitial Photodynamic Therapy of Prostatic Carcinoma

This thesis encompasses the development and testing of an interstitial photodynamic therapy (iPDT) system for the treatment of prostate cancer. It begins with the optical characterization of a novel photosensitizer (SL-052) followed by a study of tissue optics as it applies to iPDT. The design and i...
