ULTRASONIC TRANSDUCER ARRAY MONITORING DURING TRANSCRANIAL ULTRASOUND PROCEDURES

An ultrasound system performs cranial therapy using a headset mounted to the head of a subject which contains a therapy transducer and a motion detecting transducer. At the outset of therapy, echo signals are acquired by the motion detecting transducer and stored. Thereafter, echo signals are acquir...

Summary:An ultrasound system performs cranial therapy using a headset mounted to the head of a subject which contains a therapy transducer and a motion detecting transducer. At the outset of therapy, echo signals are acquired by the motion detecting transducer and stored. Thereafter, echo signals are acquired again by the motion detecting transducer and compared or correlated with the signals stored at the outset of therapy. When a difference is determined between the compared or correlated signals, an alert is issued by the system that transducer motion or acoustic decoupling may have occurred.
