Abstract

The method of Optical Pharmacokinetics is used for noninvasive measurement of drug concentrations in tissue. A rapid sequence of such measurements, following administration of a short bolus of appropriate optical contrast agent, can be used to assess the permeability of neovasculature, hence angiogenesis.
