    Abstract: The present discussion relates to the delivery of ultrasonic therapy energy to a target region in conjunction with a clear path determination that may assess one or more of: (1) presence of non-soft tissue regions within the therapy beam path (e.g., bone or bone-like structures, gas-filled cavities, and so forth), (2) partial “lift-off” of the probe head; or (3) sufficiency of acoustic coupling. Upon determination or confirmation of at least a partial clear path with respect to some or all of these factors, the therapy beam may be delivered to the target region.

    Abstract: An ultrasound transducer includes an acoustic layer that includes a micromachined piezoelectric composite body having a front side and an opposite back side. The micromachined piezoelectric composite body is configured to convert electrical signals into ultrasound waves to be transmitted from the front side toward a target. The micromachined piezoelectric composite body is configured to convert received ultrasound waves into electrical signals. A dematching layer is connected to the back side of the micromachined piezoelectric composite body of the acoustic layer. The dematching layer has a higher acoustic impedance than an acoustic impedance of the acoustic layer.
