Claim Text:
1. A system for thermal therapy comprising: at least one detection device for generating data on the thermal energy characteristics of a target area; at least one treatment device for transferring a preselected amount of energy between it and at least a portion of said target area, the at least one treatment device having, at least one treatment device guide comprising a plurality of channels in a guide body, an extension plate adjustably coupled to said guide body at a plurality of adjustable angles between the extension plate and the treatment device guide, where the extension plate is configured to mount or position the treatment device guide, at least one fiducial marker on the guide, and at least one fiducial marker on the extension plate, each of said plurality of channels is adapted for retaining the at least one treatment device; and at least one control system adapted for communicating with said at least one detection device and said at least one treatment device, said control system determining said preselected amount of energy based at least in part on said data; wherein said control system receives the data from said at least one detection device and communicates with said at least one treatment device to transfer the preselected amount of thermal energy between the treatment device and at least a portion of the target area to substantially affect a predetermined change in the thermal characteristics of said at least a portion of said target area to an extent determined by said detection device.
