  • Method and Apparatus for Medical Treatment Utilizing Long Duration Electromagnetic Radiation
    Publication number: 20110137230
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for performing a medical procedure on a patient, for example a dermatological procedure, by use of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) having a relatively low peak power, and in particular a peak power low enough so as not to result in a phase change in the heater or chromophore absorbing radiation which would result in a significant reduction in its absorption, and of relatively long duration which is generally greater than, sometimes significantly greater than, the thermal relaxation time of the irradiated target.
    Type: Application

    Publication date: June 9, 2011
    Applicants: PALOMAR MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC., The General Hospital Corporation D/B/A Massachusetts General Hospital
    Inventors: Gregory B. Altshuler, Michael Smotrich, Henry H. Zenzie, Michael Z. Smirnov, R. Rox Anderson, Dieter Manstein, Eliot Battle
  • METHODS AND DEVICES FOR EPITHELIAL PROTECTION DURING PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY
    Publication number: 20070173913
    Abstract: Methods for preventing damage to epithelial tissue during PDT induced using a photosensitizing agent or pre-photosensitizing agent are provided. The methods of the present invention utilize spatial confinement to control photoactivation of the photoactive species to protect the epithelial tissue. In one embodiment, epithelial tissue surrounding a targeted treatment site can be protecting by decreasing the oxygen-content in the tissue, thereby preventing the conversion of the photosensitizer into the phototoxic species in the epithelial tissue.
