Abstract
A photodynamic therapy (PDT) apparatus and method are disclosed. The PDT apparatus includes a light flap that includes a plurality of light emitting devices wherein each of the light emitting devices has a plurality of operating states. The plurality of operating states are used to train a neural network model capable of producing a treatment irradiance profile. The method includes using an image of an area of interest for targeted treatment of PDT wherein the image is used an input to the trained neural network model. The neural network model produces a plurality of optimized feature states and the apparatus in turn produces a treatment irradiance profile closely matching the area of interest.
