Abstract
This invention is directed to an energy irradiation apparatus including an insertion portion () which includes a hollow cylindrical member () having a sealed distal end portion and is inserted into a living body, and an energy irradiation portion () which applies energy to living tissue through an irradiation window portion () which is provided on a side wall of the hollow cylindrical member () to extend in the longitudinal direction. This apparatus includes a driving unit which reciprocates with substantially a constant velocity the laser irradiation portion () in the direction indicated by an arrow D along the longitudinal direction of the irradiation window portion (). With this structure, the energy irradiation apparatus can uniformly irradiate a lesion with energy.
