<p>A device (1) for therapeutic treatment comprising the following components: A HIFU transducer (2) is provided for generating and transmitting HIFU pulses (3) to a target (4) operable in at least a probing mode, in which the HIFU transducer (2) is operated with at least one probing operation characteristic including emission of a pulse (3) with a focal point (5), and in a treatment mode, in which the HIFU transducer (2) is operated with at least one treatment operation characteristic different from the probing operation characteristic, a detector (6) to detect a change of tissue properties caused by said HIFU pulses (3) in the target (4) during said probing phase, calculating means (7) for determining at least one probing parameter; a control (8) for defining said treatment parameters on the basis of said probing parameters.</p> |
