A method and system for checking functionality of an ultrasound therapy head. The waveform profile for typical ultrasound reflections for a functional therapy head are stored, and before use of a therapy head, an ultrasound energy burst (700) is sent, and the actual waveform profile of the returned reflections (702) are compared to the stored waveform profiles (706). If the actual profiles are not sufficiently close to the stored profiles, then a first signal (712) may be generated, which may cause the ultrasound therapy device to shut down or may generate a warning. If the actual profiles are sufficiently close to the stored profiles, then operation may continue (714), or a second signal may be produced, permitting operation of the ultrasound therapy device.

Procédé et système de vérification de l'état fonctionnel d'une tête pour thérapie par ultrasons. En l'occurrence, on conserve en mémoire le profil de forme d'ondes correspondant aux réflexions typiques des ultrasons d'une tête de traitement en état de fonctionner. Avant l'utilisation de la tête de traitement, on envoie une rafale d'énergie ultrasonore (700), et on compare au profil de forme d'ondes en mémoire (706) le profil de la forme d'ondes réelle des réflexions renvoyées. Si les profils réels ne sont pas suffisamment proches des profils en mémoire, il y a production d'un premier signal (712) entraînant la mise à l'arrêt du dispositif de traitement par ultrasons ou la production d'un avertissement. Si les profils réels sont suffisamment proches des profils en mémoire, le fonctionnement peut se poursuivre (714), mais il peut aussi y avoir production d'un second signal autorisant le fonctionnement du dispositif de traitement par ultrasons.
