Patent
Ultrasound therapy apparatus delivering ultrasound waves having thermal and cavitation effects
TL;DR: A method and apparatus for performing therapy using ultrasound is described in this paper, which uses a treatment device having at least one piezoelectric transducer element to supply ultrasonic waves focussed onto a focal point or region that determines the tissue zone submitted to therapy.
Patent
Therapy and imaging probe and therapeutic treatment apparatus utilizing it
TL;DR: In this paper, a probe body is mounted on first support to provide translational movement of the imaging transducer within the probe, parallel to the general axis (X--X) of the probe between a withdrawn position and an extended position.
PatentDOI
Use of at least one composite piezoelectric transducer in the manufacture of an ultrasonic therapy apparatus for applying therapy, in a body zone, in particular to concretions, to tissue, or to bones, of a living being and method of ultrasonic therapy
TL;DR: In this paper, a composite piezoelectric transducer for making an acoustic or an ultrasonic therapeutic apparatus was proposed, where the transducers can be a single large-size transducers or a multi-transducer device.
Patent
Therapeutic endo-rectal probe and apparatus constituting an application thereof for destroying cancer tissue, in particular of the prostate, and preferably in combination with an imaging endo-cavitary-probe
TL;DR: A therapeutic endo-rectal probe comprises a piezoelectric transducer element mounted in a support member itself connected to a rigid guide, the outside shape of the support member preferably being that of a disk having an outline that is for the most part substantially circular or substantially elliptical as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In vivo tissue destruction was performed on 124 rat and 16 canine kidneys by focusing high-intensity ultrasound with a 1- and 2.25-MHz transducer to explore mechanism of this effect as well as potential clinical applications in treating kidney, liver, and prostate tumors in humans.
