Disclosed is a microwave treatment apparatus which treats the surface of the skin or subcutaneous tissues using a combination among a microwave frequency electric field generated by microwaves, low-frequency electric spark discharge and low-temperature ionized gas flow.

The present disclosure concerns an articulated positioning system for positioning a scientific tool in predetermined position and orientation with respect to a head of a subject, the articulated positioning system comprising: a spherical robot arm assembly defining an arm displacement sphere, the spherical robot arm assembly comprising: a proximal arm segment comprising a base-mounting end portion connectable to a support structure and an opposed distal segment-mounting end portion, the proximal arm segment forming a proximal arc of the arm displacement sphere; and a distal arm segment comprising a proximal segment-mounting end portion pivotally mounted to the distal segment-mounting end portion about an arm segment connection axis and an opposed tool-holding end portion, the distal arm segment forming a distal arc of the arm displacement sphere. It also concerns a corresponding robotized positioning assembly and a corresponding method for positioning the tool in the predetermined position and orientation.

A phototherapy apparatus present disclosure includes a treatment site detection unit, a treatment unit, and a control unit. The treatment site detection unit detects a treatment site of a body. The treatment unit includes a first moving unit moving in a vertical direction, a body unit, and a light source unit including a plurality of light sources emitting therapeutic light. The control unit controls the operation of the first moving unit and the light source unit. Here, when the treatment site detection unit detects the treatment site, the control unit controls the first moving portion to bring the light source unit into close contact with the treatment site. In addition, when the light source unit comes into close contact with the treatment site, the control unit causes the light sources located at the treatment site to emit therapeutic light.

Interstitial brachytherapy is a cancer treatment in which radioactive material is placed directly in the target tissue of the affected site using an afterloader. The accuracy of radiation placement is monitored during the cancer treatment. The location plan for the radioactive material may be adjusted during the cancer treatment based on real-time analysis of the location and dosage of radiation measured in, at and around the target tissue of the affected site.
