Abstract :
Based on the distribution of photons in tumor during photodynamic therapy-effects of photobleaching caused by optical properties of tumor and the distribution of photons were researched. It showed that effection of photobleaching is inversed to absorption coefficient and scattering coefficient.The effective depth of photobleaching is 4.5mm,the maximum depth of photobleaching is 33mm. The results has important reference value for clinic to desigh an optimal scheme for photodynamic therapy.
