ULTRASOUND METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TUMOR ABLATION, CLOT LYSIS, AND IMAGING

摘要

The technology described herein generally relates to methods and apparatus for non-invasive tumor ablation, clot lysis, and imaging. In particular the technology described herein relates to production and use of non-linear ultrasonic vibrations. The non-linear ultrasonic vibrations are solitonic waves that can be focused and detected in manners similar to the manner of focusing and detection of sinusoidal ultrasonic waves.
