    摘要: The invention relates to an ultrasound therapy system, and more particularly to a focused ultrasound therapy device, which uses an image alignment and fusion method to guide the therapy. The therapy system provided by the invention comprises central control means, ultrasound energy application means, moving and locating means for ultrasound energy application means, real-time B-type ultrasound image guiding means. Moreover, the inventive system also has patient's posture fixing means, with the aid of which a real-time B-type ultrasound image is aligned with a diagnostic image, and on the basis of the alignment the B-­type ultrasound image and the diagnostic image are fused so as to guide the therapy. Compared to the known scheme in the art, the invention is effective and has low cost to resolve the high-intensity ultrasound focused therapy, and more particularly for the difficult tumor therapy problem it provides a very practical scheme, which can be easily used in clinical tumor therapies.

    摘要: The present invention pertains to an ultrasound therapy system and more specifically, to a high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy apparatus guided by image registration and fusion method. The therapy system of the present invention comprises a central control means; an acoustic energy applicator; a mechanical driving and locating means of said acoustic energy applicator; a real-time B-mode ultrasound image guiding device. Further the therapy system of the present invention comprises an immobilization means for body position. By the help of this immobilization means for body position, real-time B-mode ultrasound images can be registered with diagnosis images, and then on the basis of registration, said B-mode ultrasound images are fused with said diagnosis images for guiding said therapy. Comparing to the existed technical solutions in this field, the present invention has effectively solved the difficult problems in high-intensity focused ultrasound therapy and particularly for tumor treatment with a low cost. And it provides a very practical technical solution, which can be easily applied to clinical treatment of tumors.
