The synthesis of cationic porphyrins for use in photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (PACT
… called Photodynamic Antimicrobial ChemoTherapy (PACT). In PACT a drug is administered and allowed to accumulate within the target molecules prior to irradiation with red light. This produces singlet oxygen and other reactive oxygen species which target multiple areas within the cell leading to a …

An Exploration of the Feasibility of Combining Radiation Therapy with Psoralen Phototherapy
… RT. X-ray Psoralen Activated Cancer Therapy (X-PACT) is one such approach, where diagnostics-energy kilovoltage (kV) x-ray coupled with energy modulators (phosphors) converts kV photon to ultraviolet (UV) light, which in turn activates psoralen. Radiotherapy Enhanced with Cherenkov …

Photoacoustic Microscopy and Photoacoustic Computed Tomography Using High-frequency Linear Array Ultrasonic Transducers
… (OR-PAM) and photoacoustic computed tomography (PACT) are two of the most widely used. OR-PAM can achieve optical diffraction limited spatial resolution with maximum imaging depths up to one transport mean free path (~1 mm in biological tissue). PACT can achieve several centimeters imaging depth …
