Title:
METHOD FOR CONTROLLING HIGH-INTENSITY FOCUSED ULTRASOUND BY USING PLURALITY OF FREQUENCIES, AND HIGH-INTENSITY FOCUSED ULTRASOUND TREATMENT APPARATUS FOR SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/014133
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed are a method for controlling a high-intensity focused ultrasound by using a plurality of frequencies, and a high-intensity focused ultrasound treatment apparatus for same. Provided is the high-intensity focused ultrasound treatment apparatus, comprising: a database for saving a high-intensity ultrasound table, which includes strength per ratio information and/or heat generation quantity information of a combination of a plurality of high-intensity ultrasound waves; a display portion for outputting an image; a user input portion for receiving an input of an instruction by means of user operation or input; a transrecieving portion for transmitting ultrasound waves for diagnosis to an object, and receiving an ultrasound echo signal that is reflected from the object to form a reception signal; an image processing portion for forming a B-mode image on the basis of the reception signal, and outputting the B-mode image to the display portion which is provided; a control portion for displaying through the display portion the high-intensity ultrasound table in accordance with a focus distance to the object, extracting from the database data that corresponds to selected information, which is selected through the user input portion, from the high-intensity ultrasound table, and for loading a ratio value which corresponds to the extracted data; and an ultrasound generation portion for combining the plurality of high-intensity ultrasound waves in accordance with the ratio value that is loaded and transmitting same to a specific area on the object.
