Abstract

See full text

Methods and apparatuses for speeding the softening of the cervix (cervical ripening) by way of application of ultrasound energy. A vaginal transducer may be used to emit pulse-modulated ultrasound energy directed to the cervix. Focused ultrasound energy may be applied trans-abdominally and directed at the cervix. Ultrasound energy is widely used in medical applications such as diagnostic imaging, therapeutic heating and noninvasive surgery.
