Treatment of Body Tissue by Means of Internal Cavity Resonance

摘要

A method and apparatus are described for the treatment of tissue located in a specified region of a mammal, the region being proximate to a gas filled cavity which is contained in a fluid medium within the mammal. The resonance frequency of the cavity is determined, and an acoustic signal having a frequency which is equal to the resonance frequency is directed upon the cavity to resonate the cavity, at a selected level of intensity, until a first phase of treatment has been concluded. Thereupon, a selected seoncd phase in the treatment of the tissue is performed.
