Knowing the repartition and propagation of light around the light applicator could be the first step towards optimizing dosimetry. Here we propose a characterization method of the illumination profile of a specific light device. METHODS: The light wand, made of a cylindrical diffuser located inside an endotracheal tube, was fixed in a tank filled with dilute 0.01% intralipid. Light dosimetry was performed around the tip of the wand using two complementary methods: direct measurements of light power with an isotropic probe and measurements of light distribution characterization. RESULTS: Dosimetry with the isotropic probe showed an ellipse-shaped illumination. An optimized effective attenuation coefficient was deduced. Combined with the spatial representation, a theoretical illumination profile was established with iso-surfaces of fluence rate, defining a gradient light dose according to the distance from the diffuser. CONCLUSIONS: A theoretical illumination profile of a light device was established and could be part of an intra-operative dosimetry system to improve light delivery during intrapleural PDT.Show less >
