Fluorescent approaches for controlling of photosensitizer distribution <i>in VIVO</i>

Abstract

Two approaches based on the live fluorescence to control the distribution of the photosensitizer are presented. Temoporfin is studied: the small animal imaging and fiber optic spectrometry technique. It was shown, that described fluorescent approaches allow one to obtain clear visual information about photosensitizer distribution processes in tissues and organism in vivo .
