    摘要: A stereo radiolocalization and targeting system (100) includes a table assembly (102) for supporting a patient (104), a stereo radiolocalization subsystem (117), a medical instrument support subsystem (119), and an ultrasound imaging subsystem (121). The stereo radiolocalization subsystem (117) provides three-dimensional localization information for an area of interest within the patient's body such as a sentinel node. The medical instrument support subsystem (119) allows for targeting of a medical instrument (118) to the area of interest for treatment, extraction or other procedures. The imaging subsystem (121) provides real-time imaging for use in penetration path selection and monitoring medical instrument insertion. Flexible positioning support mechanisms (120, 122, and 124) provide substantial positioning flexibility for various elements of the system (100).

    摘要: An ultrasound medical treatment system capable of determining the hot spot at high spatial resolution, and preventing the displacement of the hot spot from the focal point (7). In the system, the imaging device for obtaining image data of a treatment portion containing a treatment target (8) and an energy irradiation device (2) for applying an energy irradiation onto the treatment target (8) are controlled in such a manner that the imaging device is controlled to obtain hot spot detection image data after the energy irradiation device is controlled to apply an energy irradiation at a prescribed level, so that a hot spot indicating a change due to a temperature change caused by the energy irradiation at the prescribed level can be detected from the hot spot detection image data, The energy irradiation device is then controlled to apply a treatment energy irradiation at a treatment level higher than the prescribed level according to the detected hot spot.

    摘要: Methods are provided that better describe, and localize the pain generator or suspected pain generator in and around spinal discs in relation to neck or back pain so as to improve the diagnosis of degenerative disc disease. In some embodiments, there are methods for diagnosing a pain generator or a suspected pain generator in a patient suffering from back pain, the methods comprise labeling an inflammatory, vascular, neuronal, and/or metabolic pain marker at a location inside of or adjacent to an intervertebral disc in the patient suffering from back pain to increase an image of the pain marker with an imaging procedure; and imaging the labeled inflammatory, vascular, neuronal, and/or metabolic pain marker in a manner sufficient to diagnose the pain generator or suspected pain generator.
