Medical device including scanned beam unit for imaging and therapy
First Claim
1. A medical device comprising:
- a radiation source assembly having at least two radiation sources, where one or more of the radiation sources is adapted to generate an imaging beam for use in visualization of a scene and one or more of the radiation sources is adapted to generate a therapeutic beam for treatment of a medical condition;
an optical fiber for directing radiation energy from the radiation source assembly toward a distal end of the medical device in the form of a beam;
a reflector that receives the beam from the optical fiber, the reflector configured to direct the beam onto a field-of-view; and
a receiving system including a detector arranged and configured to receive radiation from the field-of-view to generate a viewable image;
wherein the imaging beam and the therapeutic beam from the at least two radiation sources are directed to follow a common path to the reflector.

Abstract
A medical device includes a radiation source assembly having at least two radiation sources, where one or more of the radiation sources is adapted to generate an imaging beam for use in visualization of a scene and one or more of the radiation sources is adapted to generate a therapeutic beam for treatment of a medical condition. An optical fiber for directing radiation energy from the radiation source assembly toward a distal end of the medical device in the form of a beam. A reflector that receives the beam from the optical fiber, the reflector configured to direct the beam onto a field-of-view. A receiving system including a detector arranged and configured to receive radiation from the field-of-view to generate a viewable image. The imaging beam and the therapeutic beam are directed to follow a common path from the at least two radiation sources to the reflector.

12. A method of providing medical treatment, the method comprising:
-
outputting an imaging beam using a first radiation source; outputting a therapeutic beam using a second radiation source; directing the imaging beam onto the field-of-view for generating a viewable image thereof using a reflector; and directing the therapeutic beam onto at least a portion of the field-of view based on specification of a target region. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A medical device comprising:
-
a radiation source assembly configured to output an imaging beam and a therapeutic beam; an optical fiber for directing at least one of the imaging beam and therapeutic beam toward a distal end of the medical device; a reflector that receives at least one of the imaging beam and the therapeutic beam from the optical fiber, the reflector configured to direct the at least one of the imaging beam and the therapeutic beam onto a field-of-view; a receiving system including a detector configured to receive radiation from the field-of-view to generate a viewable image; and a user input device that allows for selection of a target region within the field of view. - View Dependent Claims (21)
