  • Patent number: 7828754
    Abstract: An ultrasonic cerebral infarction therapeutic apparatus that does not produce side effects of destruction of brain cells, occurrence of intracerebral hemorrhage, destruction of nerve cells, etc. by avoiding formation of a standing wave by interference between an irradiated beam of an ultrasonic wave irradiated to the inside of the cranium and its reflected beam. An ultrasonic probe cap is constructed by arranging a plurality of laminated small transducers each made up of a PVDF film, a PZT ceramic, or the like in a mosaic-like pattern or in other form on the inside of the cap and one or more transducers are selected and activated according to a thrombus position. As a high frequency for actuating a transducer, a continuous sinusoidal wave, a burst wave, or a pulse wave shall be used so that no standing wave may be produced inside the cranium.

  • Publication number: 20100217160
    Abstract: An ultrasonic wave radiator suitable for a cerebral infarction therapy apparatus that is attached to indeterminate curvilinear surface of the scalp of a patient under therapy and dissolves thrombus inside a cerebral blood vessel by outputting ultrasonic vibrations of a plurality of frequencies or an ultrasonic vibration having a wide frequency band. The ultrasonic transducer 20 are arranged on one surface of a flexible sheet 11 in a grid configuration or in other configurations and are bonded thereto and a adhesive layer is provided on the other surface of said sheet 11.
