HIGH INTENSITY FOCUSED ULTRASOUND SYSTEM AND COMBINATION HEAD FOR HIGH INTENSITY FOCUSED ULTRASOUND SYSTEM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a three-dimensional ultrasound image of an affected area with high resolution.;SOLUTION: This system includes: a combination head means which produces a first ultrasound signal for removing a first region to be transmitted to and focused on the first region, produces a second ultrasonic signal for producing a three-dimensional ultrasound image of the first region to be transmitted to and focused on the first region, receives an ultrasound echo signal reflected from the first region, and acquires an image signal to produce an image of the second region through which the first and second ultrasound signals are passed when transmitted to the first region; a means for applying high frequency power to the combination head means; a means for producing the three-dimensional ultrasound image of the first region based on the ultrasound echo signal and producing the image of the second region based on the image signal; a means for producing a control signal for controlling the combination head means so that the first ultrasound signal can be focused on the first region; a means for driving the combination head means based on the control signal; and a means for displaying the three-dimensional ultrasonic image of the first region and the image of the second region.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
