    Abstract: A composition of a biological sample, such as tissue of a patient, can be estimated during an ablation procedure. A composition detector system can include a probe, an illumination source, and a spectrometer. A distal end of a probe can convey mechanical, acoustical, or ultrasonic energy to the tissue to ablate the tissue. The probe can extend through a working channel of a viewing scope. An illumination source can illuminate a portion of the tissue at the distal end of the probe or as the portion is being evacuated and collected for disposal. The illumination can generate response illumination from the portion of the tissue. The spectrometer can receive the response illumination, analyze the response illumination, and provide an estimate of the composition of the portion of tissue.

    Abstract: Techniques for identifying composition of an anatomical target using a series of different colored light sources are provided. In an example, a method can include emitting light from multiple illumination sources, receiving an illumination response from an anatomical target at an optical sensor, providing an image representative of the anatomical target, and providing spectral intensity information of the illumination response in addition to the image. Each illumination source can emit light having a range of frequencies centered about a different frequency than each other illumination source.

    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for identifying different structure types with distinct composition in vivo and adjusting surgical laser output accordingly in a medical procedure are disclosed. An exemplary laser treatment system comprises a laser system configured to generate a laser beam for delivery to a target in a body, and a controller circuit configured to receive a signal reflected from the target in response to electromagnetic radiation produced by a light source, and generate one or more spectroscopic properties from the reflected signal. The controller circuit can identify the target as one of a plurality of structure types, such as tissue types or calculi types with respective compositions, using the one or more spectroscopic properties. The laser system can be controlled to operate in an operating mode based on the target identification.
