Abstract

The present invention relates to a selective photothermolysis device comprising: a tunable radiation source configured to emit radiation; a patient interface comprising a radiation delivery unit configured to deliver the radiation to a tissue, and an ultrasonic detector for detecting photoacoustic waves excited by the radiation from one or more surgical targets in the tissue; and a control system configured to acquire characteristics of the tissue and one or more surgical targets based on measurements on detected photoacoustic waves, determine optimal characteristics of the tunable radiation source for optimal surgical outcome on one or more surgical targets in the tissue, prescribe characteristics and optimal characteristics, and adjust the tunable radiation source for optimal surgical outcome based on the optimal characteristics, and methods applicable to the device.
