The invention relates to an arrangement and method for the in-vitro and in-vivo treatment of bronchial tumors. The aim of the invention is to provide an arrangement and a method for operating said arrangement for the in-vitro and in-vivo treatment of bronchial tumors, said arrangement making the lungs receptive to ultrasound in order to allow the mechanical ultrasound waves to be guided through the healthy lung tissue to the tumor tissue in an optimized manner for the use of FUS therapy. This is achieved in that the arrangement comprises a ventilation and respirator system (1) for a lung part (33) to be provided with a gas for respiration purposes, a device for the controlled ventilation and flooding (2) of a lung part (34) to be flooded with a liquid, a therapy system (4), and a central control unit (5). The therapy system (4) consists of at least one therapeutic ultrasound transducer (40), an imaging monitoring system (42), and a temperature monitoring system (41), and the central control unit (5) is connected to the therapeutic ultrasound transducer (40), the respirator system (1), the device for the controlled ventilation and flooding (2) processes, the imaging monitoring system (42), and the temperature monitoring system (41) so as to transmit data. According to the invention, the respirator system (1) and the device for the controlled ventilation and flooding (2) processes are connected to a lung tube (3) in a gas- and liquid-conducting manner, the lung tube (3) can be inserted into a lung containing a tumor (35) in an intratracheal manner, and therapeutic ultrasound doses can be administered by the ultrasound transducer (40). |
