Abstract: An apparatus and a method are disclosed for implementing axial focal region temperature measurement distribution detection through a lateral probe. The apparatus includes a temperature measurement module, an imaging ultrasound module, a lateral imaging probe, a ranging module, and a position control module. The imaging ultrasound module sends an electrical pulse signal to the lateral imaging probe, and obtains an ultrasound image and ultrasound radio frequency data through the lateral imaging probe; an axial of the lateral imaging probe always intersects with an axis of a focused ultrasound transducer; the temperature measurement module controls the lateral imaging probe to perform cyclic scanning on a temperature measurement ROI region through the position control module; and the ranging module is configured to obtain a mapping depth of focus D of the temperature measurement ROI region within a field of view of the lateral imaging probe.

Abstract: An application of a radiofrequency catheter ablation system to treatment of essential hypertension. The treatment process is under ultrasonic guidance, an electrode needle is made to penetrate into target tissue of a patient, electrification is conducted to start ablation, the needle is withdrawn or made to penetrate into the other side of the target tissue for target ablation after reaching ablation temperature and duration time, and overall ablation treatment is completed. The system can treat a secondary center for regulating the activity of a whole-body sympathetic system to reduce its activity, thus, the blood pressure level of a patient can be reduced, and fewer kinds and smaller dosage of antihypertensive drugs taken or ceased altogether. By treating the secondary center, the activity of the whole-body sympathetic system, insulin resistance and whole-body fibrosis is reduced, and other diseases characterized in activity abnormity of the sympathetic system might be treated too.

Abstract: An application of a high-intensity focused ultrasound system to treatment of essential hypertension. A treatment process includes: conducting ultrasonic positioning measurement on both sides of perirenal fat tissue of a patient, setting a therapeutic window and parameters of the system, and setting corresponding power parameter of the system, so as to make local temperature of the tissue during treatment reach 40-70° C., wherein treatment portions are both sides, and treatment scope is one third to all of the whole tissue; starting the system to treat one side of the tissue according to the set parameters and then the other. By treating a secondary center for regulating the activity of a whole-body sympathetic system, the activity of the whole-body sympathetic system can be reduced, so that the blood pressure level of the patient can be reduced, and fewer kinds and smaller dosage of antihypertensive drugs can be taken or ceased.
