Patent ID: 6984228

Claim:
A system for treating a proliferative skin disorder in a patient, the system comprising: an illumination system configured to irradiate the patient's skin; a detector system configured to receive radiation emitted from selected areas of the patient's skin in response to the irradiation from the illumination source and generate at least two diagnostic signals based on the received radiation for each of the selected areas, wherein each diagnostic signal provides a different physiological indication of a presence of the skin disorder; an analyzer system connected to the detector system, wherein for each selected area, the analyzer system is configured to (i) separately evaluate whether each diagnostic signal indicates the presence of the skin disorder at the selected area, and (ii) determine whether the selected area should be designated as an affected area based on the separate evaluations of the diagnostic signals; and a therapeutic source configured to deliver doses of therapeutic radiation to the affected areas of skin designated by the analyzer system.
