FEEDBACK DETECTION FOR A TREATMENT DEVICE
A system includes a focus optic configured to converge an electromagnetic radiation (EMR) beam to a focal region located along an optical axis. The system also includes a detector configured to detect a signal radiation emanating from a predetermined location along the optical axis. The system additionally includes a controller configured to adjust a parameter of the EMR beam based in part on the signal radiation detected by the detector. The system also includes a window located a predetermined depth away from the focal region, between the focal region and the focus optic along the optical axis, wherein the window is configured to make contact with a surface of a tissue.
1 . A system, comprising:

a focus optic configured to image a view of the tissue; N
a detector configured to detect an image of the view of the tissue; and
a treatment radiation configured to be focused, using the focus optic, to a focal region within a target treatment region designated based in part on the image.
2 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a scanner configured to scan the view to a second region of the tissue, wherein the focus optic is further configured to image a second image of the view from the second region of the tissue, and wherein the detector is further configured to detect the second image.
3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the scanner is further configured to scan the focal region within the target treatment region.
4 . The system of claim 2 , further comprising a controller configured to stitch the image and the second image into a map.
5 . The system of claim 4 , wherein the map is configured to be used in the determination of at least one of: a diagnosis, a treatment plan, and a treatment parameter for the treatment radiation.
6 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a window configured to contact a surface of the tissue, such that the focal region is located a predetermined depth from the surface of the tissue.
7 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a controller configured to record the image.
8 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a controller configured to control a parameter of the treatment radiation based in part on the image.
9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the treatment radiation is configured to selectively generate a plasma at a chromophore proximal the focal region.
10 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the focus optic is further configured to image the first image using at least one of: microscopic imaging, wide field of view imaging, and reflectance confocal imaging.
11 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a display configured to display the image.

illuminating, using a radiation source, a tissue with an imaging radiation;
imaging, using a focus optic, an image of a view of the tissue;
detecting, using a detector, the image;
designating a target treatment region of the tissue based in part on the image; and
converging, using the focus optic, a treatment radiation to a focal region within the target treatment region.
13 . The method of claim 12 , further comprising:
scanning, using a scanner, the view to a second region of the tissue;
imaging, using the focus optic, a second image of the view from the second region of the tissue; and
detecting, using the detector, the second image.
14 . The method of claim 13 , further comprising scanning, using the scanner, the focal region within the target treatment region.
