Publication number: 20100019125Abstract: A laser calibration system and method are described for a laser unit (10) operable to fire a laser beam that is guided along an optical delivery path (310) to a delivery point at a distal end of the optical delivery path. The laser calibration system comprises a laser controller operable to drive the laser unit (10) to fire the laser beam dependent on a desired laser power and a compensation factor associated with the optical delivery path. A detector (70) generates a measurement signal related to laser power at the delivery point; and a laser calibrator (802) generates an error signal dependent on a comparison (810) of the desired laser power and the measurement signal and to adjust the compensation factor dependent on the error signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 29, 2006Publication date: January 28, 2010Inventors: Mario Antonio Stefani, Jarbas Caiado de Castro Neto, Alessandro Damiani Mota, Giuliano Rossi

Publication number: 20090306634Abstract: A method and system are described for controlling a therapeutic procedure performed on a patient. Based on patient-related information, control system (90) determines at least one dosage parameter and at least one application parameter of the therapeutic procedure. Display (117) displays one or more prompts instructing an operator to introduce at least one external substance into the patient in accordance with the at least one dosage parameter and displays one or more instructions to the operator to apply an output of an application device (80) to a treatment area (100) of the patient in accordance with the at least one application parameter. The therapeutic procedure may be an Indocyanine Green mediated photothrombosis treatment for age-related macular degeneration.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2006Publication date: December 10, 2009Applicant: Opto Global Pty LtdInventors: Jarbas Caiado de Castro Neto, Mario Antonio Stefani, Giuliano Rossi, Alessandro Damiani Mota, Rogerlo Alves Costa, Jose Augusto Cardillo, Jairo Kerr Azevedo
