摘要： A method and apparatus for medical imaging is described. The apparatus applies specifically to accessing and targeting tissue in a small cavity or tightly enclosed space. The medical imaging apparatus or device uses ultrasound waves with elements that act as both a transmitter and receiver in order to image body tissues. The ultrasound is an array or plurality of arrays that may be arranged on the tip on a probe or catheter for insertion into a patient's body.

摘要： Methods and devices for both imaging and treating uterine fibroid tumors in one real-time system are provided. One minimally invasive method comprises introducing a sheath into a uterus and determining a location of a fibroid using a visualization element within or on the sheath. Upon identification, a portion of the sheath is steered to position at least one treatment needle at the determined location. The needle is then anchored in uterine tissue and the fibroid treated with the needle.

摘要： A system for deploying needles in tissue includes a controller and a visual display. A treatment probe has both a needle and tines deployable from the needle which may be advanced into the tissue. The treatment probe also has adjustable stops which control the deployed positions of both the needle and the tines. The adjustable stops are coupled to the controller so that the virtual treatment and safety boundaries resulting from the treatment can be presented on the visual display prior to actual deployment of the system.

摘要： Needles are deployed in tissue under direct ultrasonic or other imaging. To aid in deploying the needle, a visual needle guide is projected on to the image prior to needle deployment. Once the needle guide is properly aligned, the needle can be deployed. After needle deployment, a safety boundary and treatment region are projected on to the screen. After confirming that the safety boundary and treatment regions are sufficient, the patient can be treated using the needle.

摘要： A disposable sheath is provided for a radiofrequency ablation device which includes both an ultrasonic imaging probe and a detachable needle advancement assembly. The sheath includes a distal region which conforms closely to a shaft of the ultrasonic imaging probe but drapes more loosely over a handle of the ultrasonic imaging probe. The disposable sheath allows attachment features on both the ultrasonic imaging probe and the needle advancement assembly to be easily visualized and easily connected together.

摘要： Delivery systems, and methods using the same, having an ultrasound viewing window for improved imaging and a needle for ablation treatment of target tissues. In an embodiment, the target tissue is a fibroid within a female's uterus. In an embodiment, the delivery system includes a rigid shaft having a proximal end, a distal end, and an axial passage extending through the rigid shaft. In an embodiment, the axial passage is configured for removably receiving the ultrasound imaging insert having an ultrasound array disposed a distal portion.
