ULTRASOUND THERAPY TRANSDUCER HEAD AND ULTRASOUND THERAPY SYSTEM INCORPORATING THE SAME

摘要

An ultrasound therapy transducer head (10) comprises an ultrasound source (14)emitting ultrasonic radiation, theultrasound source comprising a plurality of transducer elements (20),integrated driving electronics (24) coupled to the transducerelements, the electronics generating at least one output ultrasound waveformand driving at least some of the transducer elementsindependently based on the at least one output ultrasound waveform andtemperature control structure providing cooling for theelectronics.
