Abstract
Photodynamic therapy is an experimental modality for the destruction of tumors or tumor cells by photochemical processes /1,2/. Such reactions are induced by exciting tumor-localizing photosensitizers by visible laser light. In addition to therapeutical applications, the characteristic fluorescence of the excited photosensitizers can be used for diagnostic purposes, i.e. for localization and imaging of tumors. The detection of small tumors as well as the determination of the extent of the lesion sensitively depend on the discrimination between sensitizer and tissue autofluorescence. This is particularly important at the boundary between tumor and normal tissue.
