  • Publication number: 20190009111
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system and method for the removal of wrinkles and/or provide the rejuvenation of the human skin by use of ultrasound. The method comprises determining a 3D image of a region of the skin using ultrasound, determining a focal depth of the ultrasonic beam for different locations of the skin based on the 3D image, performing the treatment by heating the skin at different locations using an ultrasonic beam, and adjusting the focal depth of the ultrasonic beam according to the determined focal depths during the process of heating the skin at different locations.

  • Publication number: 20130096595
    Abstract: A system and methods are provided and thrombi treatments in which hyperthermia is induced in an initial phase and cavitation and/or drug release are induced in a subsequent phase in a region of interest in a human or animal body. The system includes an energy transmitter having a variable intensity and/or a variable frequency; and a control unit arranged to control the energy transmitter to operate in at least two different modes. In one embodiment, the first mode is a mode of operation having a mechanical index below a threshold level for cavitation; and the second mode is a mode of operation having a mechanical index above a threshold level for cavitation. In another embodiment, the first mode induces hyperthermia below a temperature threshold for releasing an encapsulated agent and the second mode induces hyperthermia above the temperature threshold. The initial hyperthermia treatment enhances the effect of subsequent treatments.

  • Publication number: 20090221902
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for non-invasive patient treatment using ultrasound are disclosed. One method comprises administering to a patient a therapeutic agent, transmitting ultrasound and directing the ultrasonic energy at a region of interest of a patient, monitoring cavitation in and around the region of interest in real time, and controlling the ultrasonic transmitting device, based on the monitored cavitation, so that the ultrasonic energy is focused at the region of interest. Another method comprises determining the position of a region of interest in terms of spatial coordinates, storing or calculating an expected effect of therapeutic ultrasound on the region of interest, focusing ultrasound energy on the region of interest based on the spatial coordinates, measuring the effect of the ultrasound energy on the region of interest, comparing the measured effect with the stored or calculated effect, and providing an output of the comparison.

  • Patent number: 7220258
    Abstract: The invention relates to an acoustic probe for treating cancerous tissue, for introduction into a natural or surgically created cavity in the patient, in close proximity to a tissue area which includes cancerous cells. The probe includes an acoustic transmitter arranged for transmitting an acoustic signal having characteristics which causes damage of said cancerous cells and means for administering chemotherapeutic substances. The invention further relates to a corresponding method and a system for treating cancerous tissue. The use of the invention may be combined with the use of encapsulated cytostatica within micelles or therapeutic molecules.
