ULTRASOUND THERAPY TRANSDUCER HEAD AND ULTRASOUND THERAPY SYSTEM INCORPORATING THE SAME

摘要

An ultrasound therapy transducer head (10) comprises an ultrasound source (14) emitting ultrasonic radiation, the ultrasound source comprising a plurality of transducer elements (20), integrated driving electronics (24) coupled to the transducer elements, the electronics generating at least one output ultrasound waveform and driving at least some of the transducer elements independently based on the at least one output ultrasound waveform and temperature control structure providing cooling for the electronics.
