Photodynamic Therapy of Established Prostatic Adenocarcinoma with TOOKAD: A Biphasic Apparent Diffusion Coefficient Change as Potential Early MRI Response Marker

Photodynamic Therapy of Established Prostatic Adenocarcinoma with TOOKAD: A Biphasic Apparent Diffusion Coefficient Change as Potential Early MRI Response Marker

The goal of this study was to examine the use of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) for the assessment of early progression of photodamage induced by Pd-bacteriopheophorbide (TOOKAD)-based photodynamic therapy (PDT). TOOKAD is a novel second-generation photosensitizer for PDT of...
