  • Apparatus and method for laser treatment with spectroscopic feedback
    Patent number: 8740958
    Abstract: A platform Smart Scalpel system using rapid real-time feedback for effecting laser treatment. The platform system includes an imaging system for rapid real-time detection of tissue characteristics, a processing system for processing the detected characteristics, and a treatment system for effecting treatment in accordance with results of the processing. The platform system provides for preprogramming and real-time inputting conditions and parameters for diagnosis using the imaging system and/or treatment using the treatment system.

    Date of Patent: June 3, 2014
    Assignees: Massachusetts Institute of Technology, General Hospital Corporation
    Inventors: Richard Rox Anderson, Ian W. Hunter, Colin J. H. Brenan, Keng Hui Lim, Elizabeth Sebem
  • APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MEASURING IN VIVO BIOMECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF SKIN
    Publication number: 20110319792
    Abstract: An assembly for measuring in vivo biomechanical properties of skin, comprising a testing device, said testing device comprising; a first pad attachable to the skin a second pad attachable to the skin, at a known distance from the first pad; said attachability of the pads to the skin to prevent relative movement between the respective pad and the skin to which it is attached; a forcing means for applying a force to the first pad, whilst said pads are attached to the skin, along a first axis connecting the first and second pad, to induce a corresponding relative movement between the pads due to deformation of the skin between said pads; a force measurement device for measuring the applied force, and; a displacement measurement device for measuring the corresponding induced movement.
