Abstract
Technologies are generally described for customization of treatment based on dosimetric data collected during the treatment. In some examples, a laser treatment procedure may involve the application of multiple laser pulses to a treatment site. During the laser treatment procedure, an effect resulting from the application of one or more of the laser pulses may result in dosimetric data, such as acoustic and/or optical data. The dosimetric data may then be used to determine the efficacy of the laser treatment procedure and/or to adjust, in real-time, a remainder of the laser treatment procedure.
Claims44
A method to personalize a laser treatment procedure on a patient, the method comprising:
- applying a first laser pulse to a treatment site of the patient as part of the laser treatment procedure;
- in response to the application of the first laser pulse, receiving a signal based on an observation of an effect of the first laser pulse;
- determining, based on the received signal, a classification for the patient;
- adjusting, based on the classification of the patient, a remainder of the laser treatment procedure;
- and
- continuing the adjusted remainder of the laser treatment procedure.

An apparatus to personalize a laser treatment procedure on a patient, the apparatus comprising:
- a detection device configured to:
- detect an effect of a first laser pulse in response to application of the first laser pulse to a treatment site of the patient as part of the laser treatment procedure;
- and
- generate a signal based on the detected effect;
- and
- a processor coupled to the detection device, the processor configured to:
- receive the signal from the detection device;
- determine, based on the received signal, a classification for the patient based on a determination of a category for the patient among a plurality of categories, wherein the plurality of categories is based on collected data from a plurality of patients;
- determine an adjustment, based on the classification of the patient, for a remainder of the laser treatment procedure;
- and
- provide the adjustment for the remainder of the laser treatment procedure to one or more of a laser treatment system and a healthcare personnel.

A system to personalize a laser treatment procedure on a patient, the system comprising:
- a laser device configured to:
- provide a plurality of laser pulses to a treatment site of the patient as part of the laser treatment procedure;
- a detection device configured to:
- detect an effect of a first laser pulse at the treatment site in response to application of the first laser pulse by the laser device;
- and
- generate a signal based on the detected effect;
- and
- a processor coupled to the laser device and the detection device, the processor configured to:
- receive the signal from the detection device;
- determine, based on the received signal, a classification for the patient based on a determination of a category for the patient among a plurality of categories, wherein the plurality of categories is based on collected data from a plurality of patients;
- determine an adjustment, based on the classification of the patient, for a remainder of the laser treatment procedure;
- and
- provide the adjustment for the remainder of the laser treatment procedure to the laser device.
