摘要： A method and apparatus irradiates a surface with at least one light beam emitted from an emission surface of an optical element. The at least one light beam has a cross-sectional area greater than about 2 cm
2 , and a time-averaged irradiance in a range of about 10 mW/cm
2 to about 10 W/cm
2 across the cross-sectional area. The at least one light beam can include a plurality of pulses having a temporal pulsewidth in a range between about 0.1 millisecond and about 150 seconds, and having a time-averaged irradiance in a range between about 1 mW/cm
2 and about 100 W/cm
2 .

摘要： An apparatus (500) is wearable by a patient for treating the patient's brain. The apparatus includes a body (510) which covers at least a portion of the patient's scalp when the apparatus is worn by the patient. The apparatus further includes a plurality of elements (520). Each element has a first portion (522) which conforms to a corresponding portion of the patient's scalp when the apparatus is worn by the patient. Each element has a second portion (524) which conforms to a light source removably contacting the element. Each element is substantially transmissive to light from the light source to irradiate at least a portion of the patient's brain.

摘要： A therapy apparatus (10) for treating a patient's brain (20) is provided. The therapy apparatus (10) includes a light generator (40) having an output emission area positioned to irradiate a portion of the brain (20) with an efficacious power density and wavelength of light. The therapy apparatus (10) further includes an element (50) interposed between the light generator (40) and the patient's scalp (30). The element (50) inhibits temperature increases at the scalp (30) caused by the light.
