  • Focused ultrasonic transducer navigation system
    Patent number: 10792519
    Abstract: A focused ultrasonic transducer navigation system attaches to a patient and includes a housing that contains an ultrasonic device. An alignment system moves the housing, and moves the ultrasonic device within the housing, so a focal point of ultrasonic energy from the ultrasonic device is aligned in x, y, and z planes with a target location in the patient. The alignment system realigns the focal point of the ultrasonic device with the same patient target location over multiple therapy sessions eliminating repeated use of an MRI system for repeatedly realigning the ultrasonic device.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 10, 2017
    Date of Patent: October 6, 2020
    Assignee: BRAINSONIX CORPORATION
