摘要： Ultrasound treatment of neurological conditions with energy levels that do not cause damage such as heating or cavitation. A method includes detecting a plurality of Doppler signals from a plurality of arteries near a brain structure, aligning an ultrasound transducer with the brain structure based on the plurality of Doppler signals, and applying ultrasound waves from the ultrasound transducer to the brain structure.

摘要： A focused ultrasonic transducer navigation system attaches to a patient and includes a housing that contains an ultrasonic device. An alignment system moves the housing, and moves the ultrasonic device within the housing, so a focal point of ultrasonic energy from the ultrasonic device is aligned in x, y, and z planes with a target location in the patient. The alignment system realigns the focal point of the ultrasonic device with the same patient target location over multiple therapy sessions eliminating repeated use of an MRI system for repeatedly realigning the ultrasonic device.

摘要： Ultrasonic energy is used for treating degenerative dementia. A focal point of an ultrasonic transducer beam is directed at a target area of the brain to promote removal of substances that accumulate in the interstitial pathways that are at least partially responsible for the degenerative dementia. In one example, the target area of the brain may comprise the hippocampus and the degenerative dementia may be Alzheimer's disease. The ultrasonic beam may stimulate brain tissue at a frequency that corresponds to a naturally occurring deep sleep burst frequency of neurons and subsequent astrocyte activation patterns that drive a convective process responsible for brain solute disposal. For example, the transducer may generate a burst frequency of between 1-4 hertz to stimulate deep sleep brain functions that help remove amyloid plaque.

摘要： Calibration or quality assurance devices and methods that ensure proper ultrasound exposure. An apparatus for calibrating an ultrasound transducer is provided. The apparatus includes a hydrophone assembly having a layer containing a solid material and a hydrophone element embedded in the solid material of the layer. A method of calibrating a therapeutic ultrasound system including an ultrasound transducer and system electronics is also provided. The method may include connecting the ultrasound transducer to an electronics module, separately connecting the system electronics to the electronics module, driving the ultrasound transducer at a given frequency to emit an ultrasound beam, sensing the ultrasound beam with a hydrophone element, and measuring a signal that is output from the hydrophone element.

摘要： A stereotactic frame includes a vertical column that extends up from a base. A first laterally extending support arm extends from a first side of the column and a second laterally extending support arm extends from a second side of the column. One of the first or second support arms may include a transducer assembly. The transducer assembly may move a focal point of the transducer in different lateral and longitudinal horizontal positions and different vertical positions. The transducer assembly also may move the focal point of the transducer beam into different pivoting angled positions. The stereotactic frame applies repeatable ultrasonic energy to targets inside a patient without using invasive attachment procedures and without having to repeatedly use expensive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines.
