Abstract
An ultrasound probe configured for insonating a pancreas. The probe is sized and shaped to be placed on a patient's abdomen in an area that is just between the right and left rib cage sections. The probe transmits ultrasound energy in order to insonate substantially the entire pancreas at the same time. One or more cavitation detectors are positioned within the probe to detect an incidence of cavitation.
