Abstract:
1. A system for generating a patient-specific treatment plan for non-invasive fat removal from a patient comprising: a computer network for transmitting information relating to a patient's target region, the target region comprising subcutaneous fat, wherein the information includes one or more of the treatment plan requests, data, images, and treatment plans; a client computer associated with a treatment provider and in communication with the computer network; a database connected to the computer network for storing a plurality of model data sets and a plurality of treatment parameters, wherein the plurality of model data sets include at least one of empirically-derived data and a priori information, and wherein the model data sets correspond to unique combinations of the treatment parameters; and a treatment plan generator in communication with the computer network and configured to receive patient-specific data and treatment plan requests from the client computer, compare patient-specific data to the plurality of model data sets in the database, and automatically calculate a best-fit combination of treatment parameters from the plurality of treatment parameters to generate the patient-specific treatment plan for non-invasively transdermally removing heat from the subcutaneous fat of the target region.
