Abstract

A noninvasive medical treatment system includes a support for supporting a patient in a predetermined position and a frequency generator for generating essentially monochromatic electromagnetic energy of a frequency selected from a plurality of different treatment frequencies predetermined to selectively destroy organic molecules of respective types specific to a plurality of different kinds of human tissue. A selector is operatively connected to the frequency generator for selecting the one frequency from among the different treatment frequencies produceable by the frequency generator. The system further comprises radiation transmission and guidance components disposed between the frequency generator and the support for directing the energy from the frequency generator to predetermined target tissues internal to the patient supported on the support and for concentrating the energy on the target tissues. A scanner is disposed proximate to the support for obtaining three-dimensional data as to an organic structure internal to the patient so as to enabling a positional tracking of the target region. The scanner including means for continually updating the three-dimensional data during a medical treatment procedure. A computer is operatively connected to the scanner for continually monitoring location and shape of the organic structure during the medical treatment procedure. The computer is operatively connected to at least one of the frequency generator, the transmission and guidance components, and the support for controlling that element in response to the three-dimensional data from the scanner during the medical treatment procedure so that the energy impinges on the target tissues for sufficient time to effectively eradicate the target tissues, whereby the medical treatment procedure is performed despite movement of the organic structure during the medical treatment procedure.
