More Information
Summary:The present invention relates to monitoring the focus of a therapeutic transducer in an interactive real-time manner by turning off the ultrasound transmits of the imaging transducer but continuing to receive in all directions with an imaging probe in order to identify the therapeutic beam focus. The therapeutic focused beam acts as the only transmit and as long as there is a scatterer at the focus, a strong receive signal will be generated to identify the focus.
