چکیده
Singlet oxygen is believed to be the species destroying cancerous cells during PDT. An optically-based imaging device for monitoring singlet oxygen production in a tumor was developed and tested in-vivo. ©2008 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (170.0110) Imaging systems; (170.5180) Photodynamic therapy

Photosensitization of coronene–purine hybrids for photodynamic therapy
Photosensitization properties of coronene-purine (Cor-P) hybrids for photodynamic therapy (PDT) have been investigated in this work. Eight hybrid Cor-P models have been designed by the additional of adenine (A) and guanine (G) nucleobase to Cor species. The evaluated absorption and emission energies indicated that the singular models are not good at all for PDT process whereas their hybrid mode...
متن کاملA singlet oxygen monitor as an in vivo photodynamic therapy dosimeter
In this paper we describe the development and testing of instruments to measure singlet molecular oxygen produced by the photodynamic process. Singlet oxygen is an active species in photodynamic therapy, and we are developing two instruments for PDT researchers with the goal of a real-time dosimeter for singlet oxygen. We discuss both an ultrasensitive point sensor, and an imaging system that p...
متن کاملGold nanorods as dual photo-sensitizing and imaging agents for two-photon photodynamic therapy.
Gold nanorods with three different aspect ratios were prepared and their dual capabilities for two-photon imaging and two-photon photodynamic therapy have been demonstrated. These gold nanorods exhibit large two-photon absorption action cross-sections, about two orders of magnitude larger than small organic molecules, which makes them suitable for two-photon imaging. They can also effectively g...
متن کاملA multifunctional nanoplatform based on mesoporous silica nanoparticles for imaging-guided chemo/photodynamic synergetic therapy
Multifunctional nanoplatforms based onmesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have recently shown great promise in drug delivery and therapy. Herein, a multifunctional nanoplatform based on MSNs is fabricated by a modified micro-emulsion method for drug delivery and imaging-guided chemo/photodynamic synergistic therapy. Carbon dots (C-dots) and a photosensitizer, rose bengal (RB), are embedded i...
متن کاملIn vivo PDT dosimetry: singlet oxygen emission and photosensitizer fluorescence
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a light activated chemotherapy that is dependent on three parameters: photosensitizer (PS) concentration; oxygen concentration; and light dosage. Due to highly variable treatment response, the development of an accurate dosimeter to optimize PDT treatment outcome is an important requirement for practical applications. Singlet oxygen is an active species in PDT, and...
