Method, apparatus, and hifu system for generating ultrasound that form multi-foci in region of interest

Abstract

Provided is a method of generating ultrasound that forms focus points in a region of interest. Additional embodiments include related apparatuses and system embodiments. The method includes: setting focus patterns that each indicate focus points to be formed by radiating therapeutic ultrasound to a region of interest of an object; calculating a parameter of the therapeutic ultrasound based on characteristics of tissue in the region of interest existing on a path through which the therapeutic ultrasound moves; and generating therapeutic ultrasound set at different frequencies to form the focus patterns, based on the calculated parameter.
