Abstract
A method and an apparatus adapted to perform three dimensional (3D) position-tracking of a transducer unit comprising a three dimensional (3) target, the 3D target adapted to show a position of the transducer unit, and further adapted to facilitate tracking a tilt angle of the transducer unit; and an optical imager adapted to acquire a two dimensional (2D) target image of the target.
Claims39
A transducer unit for transmitting focused therapeutic energy comprising:
- a three dimensional (3D) target, the target adapted to facilitate tracking a tilt angle of the transducer unit.
A system for facilitating tracking a tilt angle of a therapeutic focused energy transducer unit, the system comprising:
- a transducer unit comprising a three dimensional (3D) target adapted to facilitate tracking the tilt angle of the transducer unit;
- and
- an imager adapted to acquire an image of the target.
A method for facilitating tracking a position of a focused therapeutic energy transducer unit, the method comprising:
- acquiring an image of a three dimensional (3D) target, wherein the three dimensional (3D) target is located on the focused therapeutic energy transducer unit;
- and
- tracking the tilt angle of the transducer unit at least partially based on the image.
