<p>Provided is the photodynamic therapy apparatus which is capable of detecting damage to the healthy part existing at a shallower part of a living body than the lesioned part so as to prevent disorder of the healthy part. The photodynamic therapy apparatus 10 is the photodynamic therapy apparatus 10 for treating the lesioned part existing at a deep part of a living body, using a light-sensitive substance which is activated by a light having a peak intensity within a predetermined range, but almost not activated by a light having the peak intensity out of the predetermined range, having: an irradiation device 12 which irradiates', onto the living body, pulsed light having wavelength which is capable of activating the light-sensitive substance; a detection device 14 which detects activation of the light-sensitive substance; and a control means 16 which controls the peak intensity of the light, based on result of detection obtained by the detection device 14 so that the light-sensitive substance is not activated at the healthy part existing at a shallower part than the lesioned part, and the light which reaches the lesioned part has the peak intensity within the predetermined range.</p> |
