Patent
CA 2479667
Systems and methods (10) are disclosed for therapeutically heating a target zone of a collagenous support tissue within a patient body. In exemplary embodiments, the present invention provides electronically determining an acceptable or unacceptable contact condition between an energy source and a first tissue layer disposed proximally to the target zone. Upon determining an acceptable contact condition, the target zone is irradiated or otherwise heated for a finite time period with energy. A determination of an unacceptable contact condition causes cessation of irradiating.
L'invention concerne des systèmes et des procédés (10) de chauffage thérapeutique d'une zone cible de tissu corporel à support collagéneux. Dans un mode de réalisation à titre d'exemple, l'invention concerne une détermination électronique d'une condition de contact acceptable ou non acceptable entre une source d'énergie et une première couche de tissu disposée à proximité de la zone cible. Lors de la détermination d'une condition de contact acceptable, la zone cible est rayonnée, sinon chauffée, au moyen d'énergie pendant une période déterminée. La détermination d'une zone de contact non acceptable provoque l'arrêt du rayonnement.
