We report the tomographic imaging of a photodynamic therapy (PDT) photosensitizer, 2-(1-hexyloxyethyl)-2-devinyl pyropheophorbide-a (HPPH) in vivo with time-domain fluorescence diffuse optical tomography (TD-FDOT). Simultaneous reconstruction of fluorescence yield and lifetime of HPPH was performed before and after PDT. The methodology was validated in phantom experiments, and depth-resolved in vivo imaging was achieved through simultaneous three-dimensional (3-D) mappings of fluorescence yield and lifetime contrasts. The tomographic images of a human head-and-neck xenograft in a mouse confirmed the preferential uptake and retention of HPPH by the tumor 24-h post-injection. HPPH-mediated PDT induced significant changes in fluorescence yield and lifetime. This pilot study demonstrates that TD-FDOT may be a good imaging modality for assessing photosensitizer distributions in deep tissue during PDT monitoring.
我们利用时域荧光漫射光学断层成像术(TD-FDOT)报告了光动力疗法(PDT)光敏剂 2-(1-己氧基乙基)-2-去乙烯基焦脱镁叶绿酸-a(HPPH)的体内层析成像。在 PDT 前后进行了 HPPH 的荧光产率和寿命的同时重建。该方法在体模实验中得到了验证,并通过荧光产率和寿命对比度的同时三维(3-D)映射实现了深度分辨的体内成像。在小鼠的人头颈部异种移植模型中的层析成像证实了 HPPH 在注射后 24 小时内被肿瘤优先摄取和保留。HPPH 介导的 PDT 引起了荧光产率和寿命的显著变化。这项初步研究表明,TD-FDOT 可能是一种很好的成像方式,可用于评估 PDT 监测期间深部组织中光敏剂的分布。
