A dual-mode ultrasound system provides real-time imaging and therapy delivery using a transducer array. The system may use various imaging modes to provide image data that may be used to select control points within an imaging field of view. The control points along with the image data may be used to solve an optimization problem to achieve desired focusing gains at one or more of the control points. The optimized solution may be used to produce excitation waveforms to generate new image data. The focusing gains may be evaluated and the optimization problem may be iterated until desired focusing gains are achieved. Virtual arrays may be defined and cascaded to provide flexibility in solving the optimization problem.

According to a high-intensity focused ultrasonic apparatus and a control method, an image of a region to be treated is obtained by means of an imaging device, a working assembly and a target coordinate point in the region to be treated are located by means of an optical tracking device, so that a positioning device can clamp the working assembly to quickly and accurately move to a working position corresponding to the target coordinate point, thereby enabling the working assembly to quickly and accurately release a high-intensity focused ultrasonic pulse to the target coordinate point, which improves not only the treatment accuracy but also the treatment efficiency of the high-intensity focused ultrasonic apparatus.

The present disclosure provides implants, sensor modules, networks, and methods configured to establish transcutaneous power and transcutaneous bidirectional data communication using ultrasound signals between two or more medical devices located on and within a body of a patient.

Embodiments of a dermatological cosmetic treatment and imaging system and method can include use of transducer to simultaneously or substantially simultaneously produce multiple cosmetic treatment zones in tissue. The system can include a hand wand, a removable transducer module, a control module, and/or graphical user interface. In some embodiments, the cosmetic treatment system may be used in cosmetic procedures, including brow lifts, fat reduction, sweat reduction, and treatment of the décolletage. Skin tightening, lifting and amelioration of wrinkles and stretch marks are provided.

The present disclosure discloses an array-type ultrasound therapy system. The ultrasound therapy system includes an ultrasound therapy control unit, an ultrasound transducer driving array, and an ultrasound transducer array. The ultrasound transducer array includes n ultrasound transducers; and a detection signal output end of the ultrasound transducer configured to detect ultrasound echoes generated during ultrasound therapy is connected to a feedback signal input end of the ultrasound therapy control unit. A control signal output end of the ultrasound therapy control unit is connected to an input end of the ultrasound transducer driving array, and an output end of the ultrasound transducer driving array is connected to a driving end of each of the ultrasound transducers configured to perform the ultrasound therapy.

A system and method for efficiently transmitting and receiving focused ultrasound through a medium, such as bone, is provided. The focal region of the focused ultrasound is iteratively updated to provide an improved focus through the medium. This method may be carried out using a transducer assembly that includes two or more transmit arrays each operating at a different frequency. An initial focus is set and updated by delivering focused ultrasound with a lower frequency transmit array. The phase corrections determined in the first iteration are applied to subsequently higher frequency transmit arrays and received signals, and the process repeated until a desired focus or image resolution is achieved.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to techniques for neuromodulation delivery. Based on image data acquired from the subject, control parameters controlling energy application of neuromodulating energy may be dynamically changed during the course of the delivery to maintain desired characteristics of the neuromodulating energy. For example, the beam of the neuromodulating energy may be dynamically adjusted to account for movement of an organ during breathing. In another embodiment, a desired region of interest is identified within the subject based on a trained neural network and the acquired image data.

Provided herein are cranial implant devices that include at least one acoustic, optical, and/or photoacoustic lens element comprising one or more electromagnetically translucent, electromagnetically transparent, sonolucent, and/or acoustically active materials. The cranial implant devices are structured for subgaleal scalp implantation within, beneath, and/or over at least one cranial opening of a subject and typically includes a substantially anatomically-compatible shape. In addition, the cranial implant devices permit transcranial therapeutic ultrasound, transcranial diagnostic ultrasound, photoacoustic imaging, electromagnetic wave diagnostic imaging, and/or electromagnetic wave therapeutic intervention of intracranial matter of the subject via the acoustic, optical, and/or photoacoustic lens element when the cranial implant device is subgalealy implanted within, beneath, and/or over the cranial opening of the subject. Other aspects are directed to various related systems and methods of obtaining diagnostic information from, and/or administering therapy to, a subject.

The current disclosure relates to a system for treating impotence. In some embodiments, the device includes a mount for holding a transducer in intimate contact to a penile tissue. For example, an ultrasound transducer and/or a vibration transducer may be held in vibrational communication with a corpora, a crura, a root of the penis and/or a glans. For example, the mount may include a sheath and/or a tubular body that may be rigid, partially flexible and/or flexible. The sheath may be open on one or both ends and/or may fully surround the penis and/or include a slit on one side. Optionally, the tubular body includes one or more extensions that reach the root of the penis and/or the crura. For example, the extensions may extend proximally from a proximal end of the sheath and/or the extensions may include transducers that face and/or inward (towards one another).

The subject matter of the present disclosure generally relates to techniques for applying focused ultrasound energy to a region of interest in a subject to induce neuromodulation of the celiac plexus to treat inflammatory bowel disease. The region of interest ay include at least a portion of a peripheral ganglion of the celiac plexus.
