1. A device for positioning over and applying electromagnetic energy to a body organ, the device comprising:
a dome forming a contoured shape, said dome including a plurality of dome openings, where an interior space of the contoured shape is adapted for placement over the body organ;
a plurality of illumination assemblies each including an optical assembly having a proximal end optically coupled to a light source, a distal end configured to direct electromagnetic energy to the body organ, and a group of light guides therebetween, each of said illumination assemblies being coupled to said dome to allow said optical assembly to move freely through one of said dome openings; and
an actuator configured to move each optical assembly of said plurality of optical assemblies, upon activation, from a first position to a respective second position corresponding to a conformal arrangement around a body organ, and upon deactivation, to move said plurality of optical assemblies back to said first position;
wherein the device further comprises a biasing element for each illumination assembly of said plurality of illumination assemblies, said biasing element being coupled between said optical assembly and a carriage of said illumination assembly, said biasing element configured to move said plurality of optical assemblies back to said first position,
and wherein the device further comprises a shell surrounding said dome and spaced apart from the same to form an interstitial space, and an interstitial reservoir disposed within said interstitial space, said interstitial reservoir configured to actuate said plurality of illumination assemblies by inflating the same, wherein upon deactivation, said interstitial reservoir deflates to allow said biasing element to move said plurality of optical assemblies back to said first position.
