1. An untethered device comprising:

  • one or more first energy source configured to function in, or proximal to, one or more blood vessel or lymph vessel of a subject and to provide energy configured to elicit one or more image responses associated with the one or more blood vessel or lymph vessel;

    one or more sensors configured to function in, or proximal to, the one or more blood vessel or lymph vessel and to capture the one or more image responses;

    control circuitry coupled to the one or more sensors and responsive to at least partially identify one or more targets during an expected transit time of the one or more targets through a detection area in the one or more blood vessel or lymph vessel at least partially based on the captured one or more image responses; and

    one or more second energy source responsive to the control circuitry and configured to provide ablation energy to a target area during the expected transit time of the one or more targets through the target area.
