摘要:
The invention concerns an therapeutic endocavity probe for treating tissues in particular of the prostrate by emitting focused ultrasonic waves, comprising a support (2) forming a guide tube (4) extended by a mounting head (3) for at least one therapy transducer (7) with active surface emitting the focused ultrasonic waves and having a front face with total spherical surface wherein is provided a surface window, for mounting an imaging transducer (11). The invention is characterized in that the therapy transducer (7) has a front face (9) having a total surface equal to the sum of the active surface equal to 1 500 mm2 ± 200 mm2, and the surface of the window for the passage of the imaging transducer, the ratio of the surface of the window over the active surface of the therapy transducer element being not more than 0.45.

Une sonde présente un transducteur plan et un circuit de liquide. Elle permet un traitement intra-cavitaire ou en laparoscopie, sans membrane. Le liquide sert à la fois de liquide de couplage et de liquide de refroidissement de la sonde.
摘要:
The invention relates to a therapy apparatus for treating tissues by emission of focused ultrasound waves, characterized in that it comprises: a probe (1) comprising a transducer (2) formed by ultrasound elements (3) distributed in several categories (N1 to NM) on a face for emission of focused ultrasound waves (8) which is a surface of revolution generated by the rotation of a curve segment around an axis of symmetry, the categories of ultrasound elements defining independent and substantially contiguous focal volumes, and a control circuit (7) comprising a signal generator for independently activating, alternately and substantially consecutively, the ultrasound emitter categories in such a way as to ensure continuous insonification in a ring shape originating from different categories of ultrasound emitters.
