Abstract: A device for a mobile ultrasound unit having an ultrasound probe includes a trained orientation neural network and a result converter. The trained orientation neural network receives a non-canonical image of a body part from the mobile ultrasound unit and generates a transformation transforming between a position and rotation associated with a canonical image and a position and rotation associated with the non-canonical image. The result converter converts the transformation into position and/or rotation instructions of the probe and displays the position and/or rotation instructions to a user to change the position and/or rotation of the probe.

Abstract: A system for providing an ultrasonic skin-tightening treatment is disclosed. The system comprises a) a flexible sleeve wrapped around a treatment volume of a patient; b) one or more treatment panels, arranged on an inside wall of the sleeve, provide ultrasound energy and cooling to the treatment volume; and c) a control module controls ultrasonic and cooling parameters independently for each treatment panel. The system enables hands-free treatment over an entire treatment volume, with localized variations of the parameters, according to treatment requirements, under each treatment panel. The ultrasound and cooling parameters may be varied to select treatment of a particular depth below the skin surface.
