High intensity focused ultrasound system

A high intensity focused ultrasound system, comprising:

• a combination head unit for producing first ultrasound signals for removing a first region to focus and transmit the first ultrasound signals onto the first region, the combination head unit being configured to produce second ultrasound signals for forming a 3D ultrasound image of the first region to focus and transmit the second ultrasound signals onto the first region, the combination head unit further being configured to receive ultrasound echo signals reflected from the first region and acquiring image signals for forming an image of a second region, wherein the first and second ultrasound signals penetrate through the second region onto the first region;
• a high frequency power supply unit for generating a high frequency power to be applied to the combination head unit;
• an image processor for forming the 3D ultrasound image of the first region based on the ultrasound echo signals and the image of the second region based on the image signals;
• an operation controller for producing control signals for controlling an operation of the combination head unit such that the first ultrasound signals are focused on the first region;
• an operating unit for operating the combination head unit based on the control signals outputted from the operation controller;
• and
• a display unit for displaying the 3D ultrasound image of the first region and the image of the second region.
