The Potential of Narrow-Band Imaging as a Novel Light Source for Photodynamic Therapy for Superficial Cancers via Endoscopes

Yusuke Nakada,

Maria Tanaka
et al.

Abstract: Background Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has advanced through the utilization of photosensitizers and specific-wavelength light (≥ 600 nm). However, the widespread adoption of PDT is still impeded by high equipment costs and stringent laser safety requirements. Porphyrins, crucial in PDT, have another absorbance peak of blue light (λ = 380 - 500 nm). This peak corresponds to the wavelength of narrow-band imaging (NBI) (λ = 390 - 445 nm), an image-enhancement technology integrated into endoscopes by O… Show more
