A method and system for aesthetic skin treatment. The system includes a treatment energy source for generating a treatment beam and a treatment beam deflecting mechanism configured to direct the treatment beam to a treated skin area. One or more video cameras configured to capture a treated skin area and communicate captured treated skin area image to a processor. Based on a captured treated skin area the processor constructs a three-dimensional representation of the captured skin area and controls a treatment energy beam deflecting mechanism to deflect the treatment energy beam to follow the three-dimensional representation of the captured skin area.

An apparatus for the treatment of a soft tissue injury (eg a soft tissue injury that may be the cause, or contributes to, acute or chronic pain such. as sciatica) comprising; a thermal imaging arrangement to scan, a least a portion of a patient to provide a N thermal image; a processing arrangement to review the thermal image to determine a point or region of thermal anomaly on the patient; a laser treatment device to provide a laser beam (eg for low-level laser treatment); and a guidance arrangement for the laser treatment device to guide the laser beam to the point or region of thermal anomaly on the patient as determined by the processing arrangement; to thereby treat the patient.

The invention provides systems and method for the removal of diseased cells during surgery.

A system for direct imaging and diagnosing of abnormal cells in a target tissue includes an image acquisition system comprising a plurality of independently movable optical elements. The image acquisition system is arranged to capture at least one of a single image or multiple images or video of cells within the target tissue using at least one of bright field or dark field source divided into independently operated segments to obtain a plurality of data sets. An image analysis and control unit in communication with the image acquisition system analyzes the data sets and applies algorithms to the data sets for diagnosing abnormal cells.

Provided and described herein are exemplary embodiments of apparatus, system, computer-accessible medium, procedure and method according to the present disclosure which can be used for providing laser steering and focusing for e.g., incision, excision and/or ablation of tissue in minimally-invasive surgery. For example, an exemplary apparatus is provided that can include at least one optical element which can be configured to refract and/or diffract light provided in a structure which can be configured to be inserted into a body, where at least one of the optical element(s) is structured to receive the light at a first angle and generate a refracted and/or diffracted light at a second angle which can be different from the first angle relative to an optical axis. According to a particular exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure an exemplary actuating arrangement can be provided, which can be configured to control the optical element(s), can be provided and seated at least partially within the at least one structure.

The present disclosure provides, according to some embodiments, methods and systems for selectively reducing, blocking or inhibiting at least part of the neural activity in an organ of a subject. In preferred embodiments, the method and system are used for selectively blocking at least part of the neural activity in a duodenum of a subject in need thereof. According to some embodiments, the selective blocking occurs through use of laser radiation. According to some embodiments, the selective blocking occurs through use of ultrasound energy. According to some embodiments, the selective blocking comprises causing damage to at least part of sensory nerves located within a target area while maintaining functional activity of tissue surrounding the sensory nerves by means of shielding it from the effects of laser radiation. According to some embodiments, the sensory nerves include neurons configured to transmit signals triggered by food passing through the duodenum, such as, but not limited to, neurohormonal signals.

Exemplary embodiments of apparatus, system, computer-accessible medium, procedure and method are provided which can be used for providing laser steering and focusing for, e.g., incision, excision and/or ablation of tissue in minimally-invasive surgery. For example, the exemplary apparatus can include at least one optical element which can be configured to refract and/or diffract light provided in a structure which can be configured to be inserted into a body, where at least one of the optical element(s) is structured to receive the light at a first angle and generate a refracted and/or diffracted light at a second angle which can be different from the first angle relative to an optical axis. For example, an actuating arrangement can be provided, which can be configured to control the optical element(s), can be provided and situated at least partially within the at least one structure.
