SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR COUPLING AN ULTRASOUND SOURCE TO TISSUE

摘要

Various embodiments provide a system for providing a constant average output of power from an ultrasound source. In some embodiments, the system comprises an ultrasound transducer coupled to a power supply; a controller in communication with the power supply; a chirp function in communication with and operable to monitor the ultrasound transducer; a feedback loop from the chirp function to the controller. In some embodiments, the controller is operable to change a parameter on the transducer based on the feedback to provide a constant average output of power from the ultrasound transducer.
