CA 2723637

A method and apparatus is disclosed for determining the presence of an acoustic obstruction and for treating tissue comprising emitting ultrasound energy from an ultrasound transducer towards a targeted tissue region, sensing reflected ultrasound energy, determining whether an acoustic obstruction is present between the ultrasound transducer and the targeted tissue, and administering a HIFU Treatment if there is no acoustic obstruction present.

La présente invention concerne un procédé et un appareil permettant de déterminer la présence dune obstruction acoustique et de traiter un tissu. Ledit procédé comprend les étapes suivantes : émission dune énergie ultrasonore à partir dun capteur ultrasonore en direction dune région de tissu ciblé; détection de lénergie ultrasonore réfléchie; détermination de la présence ou non dune obstruction acoustique entre le capteur ultrasonore et le tissu ciblé; et administration dun traitement HIFU si aucune obstruction acoustique nest présente.
