Abstract
Skin-based photodynamic therapy (PDT) is used for the clinical treatment of actinic keratosis (AKs) and other skin lesions with continued expansion into the standard of care. Due to the spectral dependency of photosensitizer activation and skin optical fluence, there is a need for more accurate methods to estimate the delivered dose at depth from different PDT light sources and treatment regimens. Here, we present radiometric methods for calculating photosensitizer-effective fluence and dose at depth and determine differences between red-lamp, blue-lamp, and daylight-based PDT treatments.
