ABSTRACT

The in vivo fluorescence emission from human prostates was measured before and after motexafin lutetium (MLu)-mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT). A single side-firing optical fiber was used for both the delivery of 465 nm light-emitting diode excitation light and the collection of emitted fluorescence. It was placed interstitially within the prostate via a closed transparent plastic catheter. Fitting of the collected fluorescence emission spectra using the known fluorescence ...
