4. Design of focused ultrasound surgery transducers

Author

Rivens, Ian H., Clarke, Robert L., and Ter Haar, Gail R.

Subjects
Ultrasonic transducers -- Research, Ultrasonics in surgery -- Research, Diagnosis, Noninvasive -- Equipment and supplies, Business, Electronics, Electronics and electrical industries
Abstract

A system uses a high-intensity focused ultrasound surgery transducer for extracorporeal treatment of benign and malignant soft tissue tumors. The transducer operates at 1.7 MHz and has a 150 mm focal length. The focal length limits the operation to a maximum depth of 100 mm while power absorption in the skin limits it to a minimum depth of 40 mm. A study uses different transducers, at varying frequencies and focal lengths, to demonstrate that an appropriate design allows noninvasive treatment of tumors.
