Abstract

A testing or setting device for a PDD or PDT system or for training on such a system, which includes a lighting system, is provided with a housing in which the PDD or PDT system can be at least partially accommodated. The device is characterized in that a tissue phantom is installed in the housing in such a way that the surface of the tissue phantom can be at least partially lit by the lighting system and observed by the observation system, and that the tissue phantom includes at least one luminescent area. A tissue phantom, appropriate for use in the invention's device, has at least one luminescent area and is characterized by the fact that it has at least one additional area, whose luminescent characteristics differ from those of the first luminescent area.
