DEVICE FOR MINI-INVASIVE ULTRASOUND TREATMENT OF AN OBJECT BY A HEAT-ISOLATED TRANSDUCER

摘要

The present invention relates to a device for mini-invasive ultrasound treatment of an object. At least one therapeutic ultrasound transducer (2) i s arranged for treatment of the object (5) by generating an ultrasonic field (3), the temperature focus (F) of which is located in the object (5) for heating thereof. The therapeutic ultrasound transducer (2) comprises a probe (10) adapted to be inserted into the body in the direction towards the objec t (5) and comprises a front portion (l0a) adapted to be located at, against or in the object (5). Said probe (10) comprises at least one transmitter elemen t (11) for generating said ultrasonic field (3). The transmitter element (11) for generating the ultrasonic field (3) is arranged behind the front portion (l0a) such that the transmitter element (11) does not heat or substantially not heat the front portion (l0a) when in operation.
