CA 2220756

Methods and apparatus (12-102) for performing diagnostic ultrasound simultaneously with the application of therapeutic ultrasonic waves are disclosed. The methods and apparatus (12-102) are particularly advantageous in performing ultrasonic imaging of a region of a patient while simultaneously applying therapeutic ultrasonic waves to the region for the purpose of rupturing vesicles administered to that region for purposes such as enhanced cavitation or the targeted release of a bioactive agent into the region. An operator is able to monitor the rupture of vesicles in real time.

La présente invention concerne des procédés et un équipement (12-102) permettant d'effectuer un diagnostic avec des ultrasons, et de réaliser, simultanément une thérapie au moyen d'ondes ultrasoniques. Les procédés et l'équipement (12-102) sont particulièrement avantageux pour réaliser par ultrasons des images d'une partie du corps d'un patient tout en exposant cette même partie à des ondes ultrasoniques thérapeutiques dans le but de rompre des vésicules administrées dans cette partie du corps afin, par exemple, d'améliorer la cavitation ou d'y diffuser un agent bioactif de manière ciblée. L'opérateur est en mesure de surveiller la rupture des vésicules en temps réel.
