Abstract

We present a novel multi-modal portable instrument incorporating both diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) and diffuse optical spectroscopy (DOS), which enables simultaneous monitoring hemodynamic changes in deep tissue and provides a real-time feedback on therapeutic efficacy. By applying this instrument, a pilot experiment based on a predefined PDT protocol which uses Chlorine e6 (Ce6) as the photosensitizer, has been performed. The results showed that Ce6-mediated PDT treatment reduce the blood flow and blood oxygen saturation and increase the total hemoglobin concentration. These preliminary results suggest diffuse optical measurements permit real-time non-invasive monitoring the in vivo hemodynamic changes, thereby enabling early prediction of treatment efficacy of PDT.
