Abstract
A system and method for diagnosing and treating undesired internal conditions and structures, such as occluded vessels or aberrant histological regions. Diagnosis is effected by means of doppler analysis of laser light directed to the effected site from an inserted laser-containing unit, and treatment is accomplished by the same unit through direction of laser emissions of controlled characteristics toward the target site, thereby accomplishing departicalization, disintegration, and elimination through normal bodily processes of the undesired structure. Coherent radiation of a determinate size, wave amplitude, and electronic composition is precisely directed to given loci of operation for non-invasive analysis and treatment of aberrant sites. The invention embodies a noval unitary device with an assemblage of automated diaphragms, beam splitters, electronic choppers, an automated dye cell subsystem, and a focusing turret equipped with rotating lens elements and a piezoelectric element. The system directs, focuses, and alters the electronic characteristics of one or more laser emissive sources onto a fiber optics array. The assemblage of subsystems includes an aspiration infusion pu…
