摘要:
To provide a laser therapy apparatus that is capable of determining a contact state between a tip portion of a laser catheter and a tissue, which includes a buried state of the tip portion in the tissue, a laser therapy system, and a determination method.
摘要:
A photodynamic therapy apparatus as an estimating apparatus is an apparatus for irradiating a tissue having absorbed photo-sensitive pharmaceutical, the photo-sensitive pharmaceutical absorbing an excitation light and emitting fluorescence, with the excitation light emitted from a tip portion of a laser catheter, including a connector, a light source, and a light detection unit. The laser catheter is capable of being attached to and detached from the connector. The light source outputs the excitation light to the laser catheter via the connector. The light detection unit detects intensity or a spectrum of the fluorescence, the fluorescence being entered from the laser catheter via the connector, to estimate whether the tissue has changed because of reaction between the excitation light emitted from the tip portion of the laser catheter and the photo-sensitive pharmaceutical absorbed in the tissue.

[Object] To provide a calculation apparatus and a calculation method capable of calculating pharmaceutical concentration in a tissue in real time.[Solving Means] A photodynamic therapy apparatus as a calculation apparatus is an apparatus for irradiating a tissue having absorbed photo-sensitive pharmaceutical, the photo-sensitive pharmaceutical absorbing an excitation light and emitting fluorescence, with the excitation light emitted from a tip portion of a laser catheter, including a connector, a light source, and a light detection unit. The laser catheter is capable of being attached/detached to/from the connector. The light source outputs the excitation light to the laser catheter via the connector. The light detection unit detects intensity of the fluorescence, the fluorescence being entered from the laser catheter via the connector, to calculate concentration of the photo-sensitive pharmaceutical in a tissue, the tip portion of the laser catheter contacting the tissue.

摘要:
A photodynamic therapy apparatus as a determining apparatus is the photodynamic therapy apparatus for irradiating a tissue having absorbed photo-sensitive pharmaceutical, the photo-sensitive pharmaceutical absorbing an excitation light and emitting fluorescence, or a tissue absorbing the excitation light and emitting fluorescence, with the excitation light emitted from a tip portion of a laser catheter, including a connector, a light source, and a light detection unit. The laser catheter is capable of being attached/detached to/from the connector. The light source outputs the excitation light to the laser catheter via the connector. The light detection unit detects intensity or a spectrum of the fluorescence, the fluorescence being entered from the laser catheter via the connector, to determine whether the tip portion of the laser catheter contacts the tissue or not.
