THERMOTHERAPY DEVICE AND METHOD TO IMPLEMENT THERMOTHERAPY

摘要

A thermotherapy device has a transmitter, a receiver and a processing unit. The transmitter is designed to emit a high-energy radiation in a treatment region of a patient. The high-energy radiation exhibits a power that is suitable for thermotherapy. The receiver is designed to detect a sound signal that is generated by the treatment region depending on the high-energy radiation radiated into said treatment region. The processing unit is coupled with the transmitter) and the receiver. The processing unit automatically determines information about the treatment region depending on the detected sound signal.
