Estimating the term…
A non-invasive method and system for using ultrasound energy for the treatment of conditions resulting from vascular disorders is provided. In one embodiment, an image-treatment approach can be used to locate the blood vessel to be treated and then to ablate it non-invasively, while also monitoring the progress of the treatment. In another embodiment, a transducer is configured to deliver ultrasound energy to the regions of the superficial tissue (e.g., skin) such that the energy is deposited at the particular depth at which the vascular malformations (such as but not limited to varicose veins) are located below the skin surface. The ultrasound transducer can be driven at a number of different frequency regimes such that the depth and shape of energy concentration can match the region of treatment.
An ultrasound system configured for treatment of blood vessels comprising:
The ultrasound system of claim 4, wherein said spatial control comprises selection of one or more spatial parameters comprising transducer configuration, distance, placement, orientation, and movement.
A method for noninvasive treatment of blood vessel disorders, said method including:
An ultrasound system configured treatment of blood vessel disorders comprising:
A method for providing noninvasive treatment of blood vessel disorders, said method comprising:
