System and method for selectively sealing small vessels

A method for selectively sealing a vessel network with a high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) system including a first transducer and a second transducer, the method comprising:

• providing electric power to the first transducer and the second transducer;
• generating vibrations having a first frequency by the first transducer;
• generating vibrations having a second frequency by the second transducer;
• aligning a first focal point of the generated vibrations having the first frequency and a second focal point of the generated vibrations having the second frequency are aligned within a focused volume;
• and
• selectively sealing a group of vessels located at a focused region, when a first focal point of the generated vibrations having the first frequency and a second focal point of the generated vibrations having the second frequency are aligned within the focused volume.

A non-transitory computer readable medium including computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method for selectively sealing a vessel network with a high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) system including a first transducer and a second transducer, the method comprising:

• providing electric power to the first transducer and the second transducer;
• generating vibrations having a first frequency by the first transducer;
• and
• generating vibrations having a second frequency by the second transducer;
• aligning a first focal point of the generated vibrations having the first frequency and a second focal point of the generated vibrations having the second frequency are aligned within a focused volume;
• and
• selectively sealing a group of vessels located at a focused region, when a first focal point of the generated vibrations having the first frequency and a second focal point of the generated vibrations having the second frequency are aligned within the focused volume.
