Ultraviolet radiation dosimetry in phototherapy for atopic dermatitis - 12/10/17
Abstract |
The ultraviolet radiation doses received by patients undergoing phototherapy for atopic dermatitis were measured with the polymer film polysulphone. Patients were irradiated with either Philips TL12 fluorescent lamps (UVB/UVC ratio 8.7) or Wolff Helarium lamps (UVB/UVC ratio >1300). From the measured cumulative doses received during an 8-week course of phototherapy, followed by an analysis of the risk of nonmelanoma skin cancer as a consequence of the treatment, it was concluded that phototherapy for atopic dermatitis can be considered safe.
