Abstract

Accurate photodynamic therapy (PDT) treatment planning and monitoring requires quantitative knowledge of the in vivo tissue photosensitizer concentration 1'2. We introduce two new, non-invasive and rapid methods of performing this task. The advantages of both techniques are that they require only simple point measurements and are model-independent.
