ABSTRACT:
A solid-state fluorescent dosimeter for monitoring therapy irradiation dosage during a photodynamic therapy procedure. The solid-state fluorescent dosimeter includes an optical fiber -having a distal end and a proximal end, and a solid-state fluorescent tip attached to the proximal end of the optical fiber. The solid-state fluorescent tip includes a fluorescent material which emits fluorescence when exposed to non-ionizing radiation in the visible or near infrared range. The solid-state fluorescent tip has a sufficient length so as ensure isotropic response characteristics to the non-ionizing radiation regardless of the orientation or alignment of the solid-state fluorescent tip relative to the irradiation source.
