Abstract:
1. A set of computer program instructions stored on a non-transitory, tangible computer-readable storage medium for using feedback control to non-invasively identify and locate one or more subsurface targets based on predetermined conditions for selective laser treatment at a tissue surface area, comprising: an instruction for detecting one or more reflections of light from the tissue surface area using a multi-dimensional photo-sensor; an instruction for determining a location and one or more characteristics for each of the one or more subsurface targets based upon the one or more reflections detected by said photo-sensor and said predetermined conditions, said predetermined conditions defined at least in part by one of predetermined image analysis and mathematical algorithms; and an instruction for selectively treating the one or more subsurface targets using laser light of a predetermined wavelength and a predetermined power in accordance with the determined location and the one or more determined characteristics.
