000002417 520__ $$aThe  evolution  of  Photodynamic  Therapy  (PDT)  to  a  fully  developed treatment modality requires the development of  appropriate dosimetry to ensure proper  quality  control  during  treatments.  The  parameters  measured  for  PDT quality  control were  the  drug  accumulation  and  the  optical  penetration  depth. These  methods  were  tested  in vitro  in  photochemical  assays  and  in  tissue  simulating  phantoms. Pilot clinical trials were conducted and in vivo measurements were  perform  in  patients  undergoing  endoscopic  screening  for esophageal diseases and  photodynamic  therapy  of  esophagus, lung,  oral  cavity and skin.
