Title: Illuminator for photodynamic therapy
Inventor: LUNDAHL SCOTT
IPC: C09K11/77
Filed: 1999-04-26
Abstract: An apparatus and method for photodynamic therapy or photodynamic diagnosis comprises a sheet-metal or plastic housing 30 for supporting a plurality of light sources 10 to irradiate the surface with substantially uniform intensity visible light. The light sources 10 may comprise generally U-shaped fluorescent tubes that are driven by electronic ballasts and that conform to the contoured surface. Adjustment of the ballast voltage controls the output power of the tubes. The tubes are supported by the housing and are covered by a polycarbonate shield 40 which directs cooling airflow from a fan 70 within the unit and prevents glass-patient contact in the event of tube breakage. An aluminium reflector 50 located behind the tubes increases both the output irradiance and the uniformity of the output distribution. The spacing of the U-shaped tubes is varied to increase the output at the edges of the illuminator to make the output more uniform. Also, different portions of the tubes are cooled at different amounts, to improve uniformity. A light sensor monitors output from the U-shaped tubes to provide a signal for adjusting the output from the tubes.
