To detect invisible lung cancer and to determine field of laser radiation during PDT we developed a full-color fluorescence fiberscopic system. We tested the efficacy of this system in patients with various bronchial malignancies.System design: A fiber-optic endoscope was attached to a camera box containing a color ICCD camera which can detect from 400 to 700nm fluorescence in full-color. Light of average wavelength 405 nm was selected and radiated through the light channel of the fiberscope from a 300W Xenon lamp.
