Abstract:
1. A system for interactive interstitial photodynamic or photothermal tumor therapy and diagnosis, said system comprising: at least one therapeutic radiation source and at least one diagnostic radiation source; at least one diagnostic radiation sensor, and at least two primary radiation conductors which at their distal ends are interstitially arranged in tumor site, wherein the primary radiation conductors in use are employed as a transmitter for diagnostic radiation from said diagnostic radiation source for diagnosis of a tumor at said tumor site, or for therapeutic radiation from said therapeutic radiation source for therapy of the tumor, respectively, or as a receiver for conduction of radiation from the tumor site for diagnosis of the tumor; and a distributor for distribution of radiation from the diagnostic and therapeutic radiation source to the tumor site, and from the tumor site to at least one diagnostic radiation sensor, wherein the distributor comprises wherein the proximal ends of the primary radiation conductors are fixed in the holes of the first disc and distal ends of the secondary radiation conductors are fixed in the holes of the second disc, whereby the primary and the secondary radiation conductors by rotation of the two discs relative another are connectable to each other in different constellations.
