摘要: Disclosed is a method for delivering energy to a tissue. The method includes providing an apparatus which includes an energy delivery component and an inflatable member disposed around the energy delivery component. At a minimum, the inflatable member is constructed of a flexible inner wall and a flexible outer wall, which, taken together, enclose a cavity therebetween. The inflatable member is expanded such that the inflatable member's outer wall contacts the tissue's surface. Cooling fluid is disposed in the cavity, and energy is delivered to the energy delivery component so that at least a portion of the energy delivered to the energy delivery component passes through the inflatable member's inner wall, through the cooling fluid disposed in the cavity, through the inflatable member's outer wall, and into the tissue. Various apparatus suitable for use in delivering energy to tissues are also disclosed, as is a method for treating GERD or otherwise reducing reflux of a subject's stomach contents into the subject's esophagus.

摘要: A method and system for using real time closed loop feedback to control the delivery of heat energy is disclosed herein. An energy delivery system may be used to deliver heat energy to a target to effect a change in the target. For example, medical professionals use laser energy to irreversibly damage cells found in cancerous tumors without damaging the surrounding healthy cells. The energy delivery system includes a temperature detection system, a data processor, and a heat generating device. The temperature detection system obtains temperature data from a target and transmits the data to the data processor. The data processor may process the temperature data to provide real time feedback control to the heat generating system, as well as display the data as one or more images on a graphical user interface. The heat generating system receives control commands from the data processor and modulates its heat output accordingly.
