Methods and apparatus for non-invasive patient treatment using ultrasound are disclosed. One method comprises administering to a patient a therapeutic agent, transmitting ultrasound and directing the ultrasonic energy at a region of interest of a patient, monitoring cavitation in and around the region of interest in real time, and controlling the ultrasonic transmitting device, based on the monitored cavitation, so that the ultrasonic energy is focused at the region of interest. Another method comprises determining the position of a region of interest in terms of spatial coordinates, storing or calculating an expected effect of therapeutic ultrasound on the region of interest, focusing ultrasound energy on the region of interest based on the spatial coordinates, measuring the effect of the ultrasound energy on the region of interest, comparing the measured effect with the stored or calculated effect, and providing an output of the comparison.
L'invention concerne des procédés et un dispositif permettant de traiter un patient de manière non vulnérante au moyen d'ultrasons. Un procédé comporte les étapes consistant à: administrer au patient un agent thérapeutique; émettre des ultrasons et diriger l'énergie ultrasonore sur une région voulue du patient; surveiller la cavitation en temps réel dans la région voulue et autour de celle-ci; et, selon la cavitation mesurée, commander le dispositif émettant les ultrasons afin de concentrer l'énergie ultrasonore sur la région voulue. Un autre procédé comporte les étapes consistant à: déterminer la position d'une région voulue selon des coordonnées spatiales; stocker ou calculer l'effet prévu des ultrasons thérapeutiques sur cette région; concentrer l'énergie ultrasonore sur la région voulue selon les coordonnées spatiales; mesurer l'effet de l'énergie ultrasonore sur ladite région; comparer l'effet mesuré à l'effet stocké ou calculé; et produire le résultat de la comparaison.
