1. A device for performing surgical procedures, optimally, in body lumens using a local energy source, based on quantitative information, at least partially generated from said device, to determine optimal treatment parameters, comprising:

  • at least one radiation source;

    at least one optical waveguide, having a proximal end and a distal end;

    a screen display;

    means for measuring body lumen characteristics;

    at least one signal processing module;

    a calculation module;

    means for automatic/manual pullback of said optical fiber;

    wherein at said proximal end, said waveguide is optically coupled to said radiation source, and said waveguide transmits said radiation to a treatment site at its distal end;

    a treatment device coupled to said at least one waveguide; and

    wherein, during operation, said radiation source produces radiation at a wavelength, a power level, a wave pattern, and a power density determined by said calculation module'"'"'s use of data, accumulated from said means to measure body lumen characteristics, to calculate optimal radiation output from said radiation source.
