Abstract
Abstract The uniformity of light dosimetry is an important parameter that affects the efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT). Although this uniformity can be improved by a three-dimensional (3D) digital PDT illumination system, it has a low field-of-view (FOV) utilization rate. A checkerboard calibration method using color coding is proposed to calibrate both the projector and camera of the system with a broad common FOV. Experiments reveal that the proposed method increases the utilization rate by up to three times compared with noncolor-coding methods with almost the same accuracy. A fine distinction of phantom lesions in the 3D system can be obtained by clustering, which may be used to optimize the treatment and light-dosimetry evaluation.
