Fluorescence Guided Procedures and Photodynamic Therapy in Neurosurgery
This lecture gives an introduction about the application of photoactive drugs and their use for fluorescence guided resection, optical guided biopsy and photodynamic therapy in neurosurgery. Besides the medical needs, requests and boundary conditions the physics and technical research and developments will be presented aiming in clinical applications. Preliminary study results as well as the potential of optical dosimetry concepts based on light-tissue interaction and light-photosensitizer interaction are included summarizing the latest developments in this field.
