Title:
PORTABLE ULTRASOUND SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/082407
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a portable ultrasound system that can be used for a wide range of ultrasound applications. The portable ultrasound system includes an energy generating module operative to generate a driving signal that can be transformed into ultrasonic energy, where the energy generating module includes a power source, an oscillator, and a driver component. The portable ultrasound system also includes an ultrasound transducer having a piezoelectric component and a lens component. The ultrasound transducer is operative to receive the driving signal from the energy generating module, to transform the driving signal into ultrasonic energy, and to control the direction of the ultrasonic energy emitted from the ultrasound transducer. Also disclosed are devices containing the portable therapeutic ultrasound system of the present invention, as well as methods of using the system.
