SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FAST ULTRASOUND TREATMENT

摘要

This disclosure provides systems and methods for fast ultrasound treatment. The systems and methods can involve a treatment device including a housing, a transducer module, and a control module. Energy emitted from an energy source of the treatment device can pass through an acoustic window having a non-zero radius of curvature. The treatment device can be moved along a target surface while retaining contact between the acoustic window and the target surface. Coupling between the energy source and a region of interest can be retained upon a change in an angle of incidence of the energy relative to the target surface.

主权项

1. A treatment device for delivering an energy into a region of interest at or beneath a target surface, the treatment device comprising:
a housing; a transducer module coupled to the housing, the transducer module comprising an energy source configured for delivery of the energy, the transducer module having a transducer module wall that includes a curved surface having a non-zero radius of curvature, the treatment device movable relative to the target surface while retaining contact between the curved surface and the target surface, the curved surface configured to retain coupling between the energy source and the region of interest upon a change in an angle of incidence of the energy relative to the target surface of at least 1 degree; and a control module configured to control the energy source.
