More Information
Summary:A treatment head (20, 20′) includes an ultrasound imaging probe (22) which generates a sonogram (24) of internal anatomy of a subject (25), and a HIFU transducer 26 which emits HIFU energy (31) into the subject. A chair (28) includes a chair-frame (30) and a seat (32). When the subject is sitting in the chair, a perineum (34) of the subject is acoustically coupled to the treatment head. Control circuitry (36) (a) controls movement of the treatment head relative to the seat, (b) operates the ultrasound imaging probe to generate at least one sonogram of internal anatomy of the subject through the perineum of the subject, and (c) operates the HIFU transducer to emit HIFU energy into the body of the subject through the perineum of the subject. Other embodiments are also described.
