Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Photodynamic therapy (PDT) efficacy relies on uniform light dose delivery.
  • Current pleural PDT uses discrete isotropic detectors, which may not ensure uniform dose measurement.
  • Variability in light distribution can impact treatment outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To validate a real-time infrared (IR) tracking system for monitoring and improving light dose uniformity in PDT.
  • To assess the accuracy of IR tracking-based fluence calculations in patient-like phantom geometries and optical properties.

Main Methods:

  • An IR tracking camera system was developed for real-time monitoring of light delivery.
  • Extensive phantom studies were conducted using variable, patient-like geometries and optical properties (absorption and scattering).
  • Position data from the IR navigation system were compared with concurrent measurements from isotropic detectors and calculated fluence.

Main Results:

  • Good agreement was previously shown between IR tracking data and isotropic detector measurements in direct light phantom experiments.
  • This study verifies that IR tracking-based fluence calculations align with detector measurements in complex, patient-like settings.
  • The IR navigation system accurately captures light distribution data.

Conclusions:

  • The IR navigation system shows promise for real-time fluence monitoring in PDT.
  • Verification in patient-like phantoms supports the applicability of this technique in clinical settings.
  • This technology is a key step towards more effective, real-time monitored PDT treatments.
