Published: June 1991

A light dosimetry model for photodynamic therapy is described leading to the dependence of necrosis depth on incident light dose. Semiempirical dosimetry relations are derived for four modes of light delivery. Results for Photofrin II at 630 nm are summarized in graphical form. Numerical values of the parameters and necrosis depth calculations are compared with literature data.
