Abstract
The technical aspects of fluorophotometry equipment are presented. The sources of artifact are described and a protocol to optimize the use of the “Coherent Fluorotron Master” system is presented. The results of fluorophotometry studies on ten patients indicate that more accurate data evaluation can be achieved using this approach.
