  abstract  = {Interstitial photodynamic therapy (iPDT) treats malignant brain cancer cells by irradiation with low power laser light. The light is guided into the human body by diffuse emitting fibers. This study targets the light distribution of optical diffusers within the brain tissue. It was shown, that by submerging an optical diffuser into human brain phantom, its radiation profile measured in air converges towards a Gaussian distribution with increasing phantom depth. A camera method using digital averaging filters as well as an integrating sphere setup, both, smoothing the diffuser radiation profile were applied onto the evaluated diffuser.},
