Vasculature and lymphatic system imaging and ablation associated with a reservoir
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- locally capturing image information associated with a lumen of a local bypass, the local bypass associated with one or more blood vessel or lymph vessel in a subject;
analyzing the image information to at least partially identify a plurality of targets exhibiting a disease or disorder during an expected transit time of the plurality of targets through a detection area; and
locally collecting the plurality of identified targets in one or more reservoirs having a plurality of different compartments; and
segregating the plurality of identified targets into the plurality of different compartments at least partially based on the disease or disorder.

Abstract
In an embodiment, a system includes one or one or more reservoirs responsive to control circuitry for receiving target(s) associated with one or more blood or lymph vessel of a subject. The system includes one or more first energy source associated with the one or more reservoirs for providing energy to elicit image response(s) associated with the target(s). The system includes one or more sensors associated with the one or more reservoirs for capturing the image response(s). Control circuitry is provided and coupled to the sensors for at least partially identifying the target(s) based at least partially on the captured image response(s) during an expected transit time of the target(s) through a detection area. Attachment unit(s) responsive to the control circuitry are provided for attaching the one or more reservoirs to the blood or lymph vessel.

5. A system comprising:
-
one or more reservoirs responsive to control circuitry, and configured to receive one or more targets and to function in one or more blood vessel or lymph vessel of a subject; one or more energy source located in the one or more reservoirs, and configured to provide energy to elicit one or more image responses associated with the one or more targets; one or more sensors configured to function in, or proximal to, the one or more reservoirs, and to capture the one or more image responses, wherein the one or more sensors are configured to orient to the one or more energy source; and control circuitry coupled to the one or more sensors, and responsive to at least partially identify the one or more targets during an expected transit time of the one or more targets through a detection area in, or proximal to, the one or more reservoirs at least partially based on the captured one or more image responses. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7)
