Helmet-type low-intensity focused ultrasound stimulation device and system

A helmet-type low-intensity focused ultrasound system, comprising:

• a brain map database which stores a 3D relative coordinate value for each part of a head of a standard human body including a brain;
• a sequence database which stores an ultrasound stimulation method including at least one of an intensity of ultrasound stimulation, an ultrasound stimulation time, the number of times of the ultrasound stimulation, a period of the ultrasound stimulation, and sequence data related to a stimulation control including a relative coordinate value of a specific part of a brain to which the ultrasound stimulation method is to be applied;
• a helmet-type low-intensity focused ultrasound device which includes a transducer for generating ultrasound waves, and a support part mounted on a head of a patient and supporting the transducer to have a position movement on the head of the patient;
• and
• a sequence control means which controls a position of the transducer and controls an operation of the transducer at the corresponding position according to relative coordinates and a stimulation method corresponding to corresponding sequence data stored in the sequence database by selecting any one from among the sequence data.

A helmet-type low-intensity focused ultrasound stimulation system, comprising:

• a helmet-type low-intensity focused ultrasound stimulation device which includes a transducer for generating ultrasound waves, and a support part mounted on a head of a patient and supporting the transducer to have a position movement on the head of the patient;
• a position setting means which sets initial coordinates of the transducer;
• a sequence control means which performs a position control based on the initial coordinates of the transducer, and performs a control according to an ultrasound stimulation method including at least one of an intensity of a stimulation, a stimulation time, the number of times of the stimulation, a period of the stimulation of ultrasound waves generated by the transducer;
• one or more optical cameras which is fixed to the helmet-type low-intensity focused ultrasound stimulation device, and photographs third markers attached onto the head of the patient;
• and
• a position correcting means which obtains position change information of the helmet-type low-intensity focused ultrasound stimulation device for the head of the patient based on a position change of the third marker on an image photographed by the optical camera.
