Flexible Cervical Photodynamic Therapy Device
Translational Biophotonics, EarlyView.This paper aims to design a flexible photodynamic therapy device for the cervix and cervical vault, using an LED array, light guide, and flexible trumpet‐shaped homogenizer. Simulations and tests show output irradiance up to 98 mW/cm2 with < 14.2% variation, offering a low‐cost solution for cervical cancer and precancerous lesions.

Estimating uveal melanoma volume with ellipsoid tumour models
Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose Ellipsoid tumour models are used to approximate the tumour volume of uveal melanomas, as the conventionally used ultrasound does not provide a three‐dimensional visualization of the tumour. However, these models are a simplification of the actual tumour geometry.
