Abstract
Current methods of photodynamic therapy dosimetry are limited in their spatial and temporal resolutions. To address this, we have designed a system that combines therapeutic illumination with both fluorescence and spatial frequency domain imaging (SFDI). Fluorescence imaging during treatment provides information on the photosensitizer distribution and photobleaching rate while SFDI allows for the approximation of fluence, oxygenation, and tissue-corrected photosensitizer concentrations, but requires the treatment be paused. To minimize these interruptions, the single snapshot of optical properties approach was used which requires only a single image frame. A prototype of the system has been built and validated using calibrated phantoms.
