Abstract
Ultrasound energy is delivered to a patient in a controlled manner using a focused ultrasound system, thus maintaining the desired therapeutic effect without causing unwanted damage to surrounding tissue. An ultrasound transducer device includes multiple transducer elements, each of which is controlled by drive circuitry and a drive signal controller. An acoustic detector detects signals indicative of cavitation in tissue targeted by the transducer elements, and the drive signal controller manages the delivery of acoustic energy from the transducer elements based on the detected cavitation signals such that a therapeutic effect at the target tissue remains within an efficacy range.
