    Abstract: A multitasking optical fiber probe for collecting dosimeter information from more than one position in a sample. The basic principle of the present invention involves using one or more different sensor zones along the length of the fiber each with a different photoactive constituent having a sufficiently unique emission spectra (spectral or temporal) to enable deconvolution of the emission spectra by the computer and therefore correlation of the detected parameter with the position of the sensor zone along the length of the optical fiber. In the broadest form of the invention the probe is embodied by only one sensor zone located at some point along the length of the fiber spaced away from the end face of the fiber. Probes are provided in which multiple sensor zones are disposed along the length of the fiber and photoactive constituents with sufficiently unique emission spectra (intensity and/or spectral shape which convey the optical information) are used in the different sensor zones so that the different spectra can be deconvoluted so that the contributions from the various etch zones can be distinguished. More than one different photoactive constituent could be incorporated into a single sensor zone for measuring several factors in the vicinity of the sensor zone. In photodynamic therapy applications the probe is isotropic in response and can be employed for all light (300 to 900nm) based medical diagnostics and therapeutics. As an extension the probe can include photosensitiser and molecular oxygen concentrations dosimetry to be used for photodynamic therapy (PDT) treatment monitoring, dosimetry and planning utilizing a mathematical model describing tissue response to PDT.

    Abstract: The present invention uses spectroscopic tissue volume measurements using non-ionizing radiation to detect pre-disease transformations in the tissue, which increase the risk for this disease in mammals. The method comprises illuminating a volume of selected tissue of a mammal with light having wavelengths covering a pre-selected spectral range, detecting light transmitted through, or reflected from, the volume of selected tissue, and obtaining a spectrum of the detected light. The spectrum of detected light is then represented by one or more basis spectral components, an error term, and an associated scalar coefficient for each of the basis spectral components. The associated scalar coefficient is calculated by minimizing the error term. The associated scalar coefficient of the each of the basis spectral components is correlated with a pre-selected property of the selected tissue known to be indicative of susceptibility of the tissue for the pre-selected disease to obtain the susceptibility for the mammal to developing the pre-selected disease.

    Abstract: A method is provided for treating a patient having a disorder, wherein the method includes irradiating a tissue surface of the patient with at least one laser beam, automatically monitoring the tissue, and automatically controlling the at least one laser beam to adjust and/or terminate the treatment in a therapeutically effective manner. The method noninvasively determines in real-time the irradiance and/or radiant exposure of a target tissue at a predetermined depth below the tissue surface by detecting the radial dependence of light remitted from the tissue surface. Preferably, the method employs a near-infrared light laser beam and a visible laser light beam in combination. An apparatus for performing the method is also provided.
