20090306502 | Head for Imaging and Treating Organs of Living Organisms and Production Method Thereof - An imaging and treatment head for imaging and treating an organ or tissue of a living being, and usable in particular for treating tumors of the prostate or the thyroid, said head comprising: imaging means ( | 12-10-2009 |
20100016764 | Therapeutic Treatment Head, Therapeutic Treatment Appliance, Method of Sequencing Activation Stages for the Head, and Method of Indirectly Determining the Temperature of the Skin - A therapeutic treatment head for treating living tissue (T), the head comprising a casing ( | 01-21-2010 |
20100094177 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SYNCHRONIZING ULTRASOUND TREATMENT OF THRYOID AND PARATHYROID WITH MOVEMENTS OF PATIENTS - A treatment device and methods for HIFU treatment of thyroid and parathyroid disorders are provided. The treatment device comprises the first sensor for detecting swallowing motion and the second sensor for tracking the motion of the thyroid and parathyroid tissue with ultrasound imaging. Thus, the treatment device allows for safe and non-invasive use of HIFU on thyroid and parathyroid tissue of patients by synchronizing HIFU pulse delivery with patient swallowing and/or directing the applicator of HIFU energy to follow the appropriate tissue when the patient moves. | 04-15-2010 |
20100094178 | Systems and Methods for Ultrasound Treatment of Thyroid and Parathyroid - A treatment device and methods for HIFU treatment of thyroid and parathyroid disorders are provided. The treatment method comprises identifying a treatment zone and directing high intensity focused ultrasound energy towards the treatment zone. The treatment device comprises the first sensor for detecting swallowing motion and the second sensor for tracking the motion of the thyroid and parathyroid tissue with ultrasound imaging. Thus, the treatment device allows for safe and non-invasive use of HIFU on thyroid and parathyroid tissue of patients by synchronizing HIFU pulse delivery with patient swallowing and/or directing the applicator of HIFU energy to follow the appropriate tissue when the patient moves. | 04-15-2010 |
20100280371 | Non-Invasive Device and Method for Locating a Structure Such as a Nerve - Non-invasive device for locating a structure (N | 11-04-2010 |
20110137167 | Device for Therapeutic Treatment - Device for therapeutic treatment, comprising: an acoustic transducer ( | 06-09-2011 |
20120238873 | Ultrasound Treatment Device - The invention concerns a device for treatment of an organ or tissue of a living being. The device comprises at least one treatment transducer for emission of ultrasound waves, preferably high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) waves, focusable on a focal point within or on the surface of said organ or tissue, as well as means for rotating said treatment transducer around an axis which intersects said focal point. The device further comprises synchronization means for synchronizing the rotation of the treatment transducer with at least the emission of ultrasound waves from said treatment transducer and/or an additional imaging transducer. | 09-20-2012 |
