Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Methods and systems for controlling selective targeting of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells within a treatment region of the RPE. The methods include (a) depositing a selected amount of energy on a test region of the RPE; (b) determining an extent to which microcavitation has occurred in the test region; and (c) on the basis of the determination, either depositing the selected amount of energy on the treatment region, or depositing an increased amount of energy on the test region, and repeating steps (b) and (c).
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An automated method for determining a treatment for retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells within a treatment region of the RPE, the method comprising: (i) exposing each one of a plurality of test spots on the RPE to a first quantity of treatment radiation from a radiation source; (ii) for each one of the test spots in the plurality of test spots, automatically determining whether microcavitation occurred in response to the treatment radiation by: (…
