Abstract
Systems and methods apply ultrasound energy to achieve vasodilation and/or to increase tissue perfusion without causing substantial deep tissue heating.
Claims37
A system for applying ultrasound energy to a targeted body region to cause vasodilation and/or increase tissue perfusion without substantial deep tissue heating
- an ultrasound applicator sized to be placed in acoustic contact with the individual to transcutaneously apply ultrasound energy to the targeted body region, and
- an electrical signal generating machine adapted to be coupled to the ultrasound applicator, the electrical signal generating machine including a controller to generate electrical signals to operate the ultrasound applicator during a treatment session to produce ultrasonic energy.
