20100241036 | CONTROLLED, NON-LINEAR FOCUSED ULTRASOUND TREATMENT | 09-23-2010 |
20090088623 | MOTION COMPENSATED IMAGE-GUIDED FOCUSED ULTRASOUND THERAPY SYSTEM - An image-guide therapy system comprises a thermal treatment device (e.g., an ultrasound transducer) configured for transmitting a therapeutic energy beam, and The system further comprises an imaging device (e.g., a magnetic resonant imaging (MRI) device) configured for acquiring images of the target tissue mass and the thermal treatment device. The system further comprises a controller configured for controlling thermal dose properties of the thermal treatment device to focus the energy beam on a target tissue mass located in an internal body region of a patient, and a processor configured for tracking respective positions of the thermal treatment device and the target tissue mass in a common coordinate system based on the acquired images. The system may optionally comprise a display configured for displaying the acquired images. | 04-02-2009 |
20090018446 | TRANSRECTAL ULTRASOUND ABLATION PROBE - Transrectal ultrasound probes, systems and related methods. A probe includes an anisotropic balloon that defines a cavity for receiving a probe body that carries an ultrasound transducer. A vent tube is attached to or integral with, an outer surface of the anisotropic balloon. The balloon is structured to have inflation and elasticity characteristics that allow air bubbles between the balloon and rectal wall to be pushed away to form an improved acoustic interface while allowing bowel gas to be vented through the vent tube. | 01-15-2009 |
