Pelvic floor diagnostic-therapeutic treatment chair

Apparatus for use with a subject, the apparatus comprising:

• a treatment head comprising:
• an ultrasound imaging probe configured to generate a sonogram of internal anatomy of the subject by generating an imaging acoustic field;
• and
• a high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) transducer configured to generate a therapeutic acoustic field by emitting HIFU energy into the subject;
• a chair comprising a chair-frame and a seat, wherein the chair-frame, the seat, and the treatment head are arranged such that when the subject is sitting in the chair a perineum of the subject is acoustically coupled to the treatment head;
• and
• control circuitry configured to (a) control movement of the treatment head relative to the seat, (b) operate the ultrasound imaging probe to generate at least one sonogram of internal anatomy of the subject through the perineum of the subject, and (c) operate the HIFU transducer to emit HIFU energy into the body of the subject through the perineum of the subject.
