The purpose of this review is to present the current state of the role of imaging in photodynamic therapy (PDT). In order for the reader to fully appreciate the context of the discussions embodied in this article we begin with an overview of the PDT process, starting with a brief historical perspective followed by detailed discussions of specific applications of imaging in PDT. Each section starts with an overview of the specific topic and, where appropriate, ends with summary and future directions. The review closes with the authors’ perspective of the areas of future emphasis and promise. The basic premise of this review is that a combination of imaging and PDT will provide improved research and therapeutic strategies.
