  • Patent number: 11020007
    Abstract: A method of controlling a photoacoustic imaging diagnosis apparatus includes irradiating to an object an optical signal having a wavelength corresponding to an optical energy absorption wavelength of a contrast medium that is injected to the object; receiving a photoacoustic signal generated from the object in response to the optical signal; generating scan information representing an intensity of the photoacoustic signal based on the photoacoustic signal; determining a damage degree of the object by using a variation in the intensity of the photoacoustic signal during a preset time period included in the scan information; and displaying the damage degree of the object.

  • Patent number: 7354437
    Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide an electrode device for high frequency thermotherapy, including a main casing, an electrode needle, a first engaging part, and a guide unit coupled to the engaging part to be longitudinally moved relative to the electrode needle. The guide unit has a guide tube to receive therein the electrode needle to expose a tip of the electrode needle to the outside of an end of the guide tube. Thus, the exposed length of the tip of the electrode needle is varied according to a position that the guide unit is coupled to the engaging part. The electrode device may further include a three-way valve -provided between the main casing and the guide unit to supply a liquid medicine or water t a desired part of a patient body.
