CA 2305721

The invention features methods and systems for treating inflammatory, proliferative skin disorders such as psoriasis with ultraviolet phototherapy. The methods and systems use optical techniques to scan a patient's skin, designate areas of affected skin, and selectively deliver high doses of photo-therapeutic ultraviolet radiation to the designated areas. To insure that only affected aras of skin affected are designated for the high doses of UV radiation, the methods and systems use one or more optical diagnostics (22) that relate to independent physiological features of affected skin.

Les procédés et systèmes utilisent des techniques optiques pour balayer la peau d'un patient, désigner des zones de peau lésée et administrer de manière sélective des doses élevées de rayonnement ultraviolet photothérapeutiques aux zones atteintes. Pour assurer que seules les zones lésées de la peau sont désignées pour les doses élevées de rayonnement UV, les procédés et les systèmes utilisent un ou plusieurs diagnostics (22) optiques qui sont liés à des caractéristiques physiologiques indépendantes de la peau lésée.
