Abstract
The availability of low-cost therapeutic illuminators was one of the key factors to limit clinical use of PDT. The paper presents modern light sources which have revolutionized PDT method, contributing to its more common use. The technical parameters of different illuminators are compared. Finally, own light sources were presented and developed in Polish clinics.
