Abstract
A system and method of treating target tissue that includes generating a treatment beam of light using a light source, directing the treatment beam onto target tissue using an optical element, generating an image of the target tissue from light emanating from the target tissue using a plurality of optical elements, and translating the light source, the optical element and/or the plurality of optical elements relative to the target tissue (using a translation device) to simultaneously move the treatment beam along the target tissue and the field of view of the target tissue as defined by the plurality of optical elements. Control electronics control the translation device to cause the treatment beam to move along the target tissue in a predetermined pattern.
