| 20130079685 | Time-Reversed Mirroring Electro-Magnetic Acoustic Treatment System - A time-reversal mirroring electromagnetic acoustic treatment system is disclosed where electro-magnetic signals are directed to a region of interest in or on a patient. The EM signals induce an internally sourced acoustic signal due to variations in conductivity of the target tissue. Acoustic data representative of the induced acoustic signal are collected and analyzed to develop a model of a measured conductivity topology representing the conductivity topology of the target tissue. Measured parameters associated with the measured conductivity topology and derived from the acoustic data can be used to generate a time-reversed mirror acoustic treatment signal that can be used to apply a therapeutic treatment to a target tissue within the region of interest. | 03-28-2013 |
| 20120134924 | Micro-Vesicles Providing Contrast To Target Tissue Electrical Property Gradients - Micro-vesicles that become acoustically sensitive in the presence of a Radio Frequency (RF) Electromagnetic (EM) field are presented. The micro-vesicles can comprise a main body having one or more affinity ligands configured to preferentially bind to a target tissue. Once bound, the micro-vesicles and the target tissue can be bathed in an RF EM field, which induces the target tissue or micro-vesicles to generate an acoustic signal. The micro-vesicles can also become receptive to acoustic energy. An acoustic therapeutic signal can be directed toward the target tissue and micro-vesicles, which causes therapeutic excitation of the micro-vesicles. The therapeutic excitation can include heating the target tissue, releasing a drug formulation, or other excitation. The disclosed techniques can be used with a high degree of precision to activate micro-vesicles local to the target tissue. | 05-31-2012 |
