system to noninvasively reduce vascular plaque

摘要

non-invasively vascular plaque reduction method and non-invasive vascular plaque reduction system comprising imaging steps of at least a portion of a mammal's body to produce an image; determining the location of at least one vascular plaque in this image; checking the location of the base of said vascular plaque, that location of the base being the target; precise determination of the relative positioning of this target site in relation to the body's heart rate; emitting a beam of ultrasound energy waves from a source in relative position to raise the temperature of said target location in a predetermined manner; monitoring the temperature of the target site; and discontinuing the emission of ultrasound energy waves when that target site reaches a predetermined temperature.
