Abstract

Photopheresis is a new extracorporeal photochemotherapy in which the patient's blood or certain blood fraction is exposed to light in the presence of a light-activatable drug. The major engineering elements involved for better system design and patient treatment, such as system model, cell separation, irradiation, and energy measurement, are discussed.
