METHOD OF REAL-TIME MONITORING HIGH-INTENSITY FOCUSED ULTRASOUND (HIFU) TREATMENT AND ULTRASOUND MEDICAL DEVICE THEREOF

摘要

Disclosed are a method of real-time monitoring a high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment and an ultrasound medical device thereof, capable of detecting a location and a size of an HIFU cavitation through HIFU treatment monitoring in real-time while conducting HIFU treatment. The method of real-time monitoring the HIFU treatment according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the steps of: configuring an HIFU signal by combining an HIFU signal for monitoring and an HIFU signal for treatment; and monitoring by transmitting the HIFU signal for monitoring through an HIFU probe during the treatment and receiving a reflected signal through an imaging probe.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2016
