ACOUSTx®
3-D control and directionality of the ultrasound energy delivery
to treat a prescribed target volume and shape, avoiding or protecting non-targeted tissue.
Increased energy penetration into the target tissue
·to treat a large range of target volumes, with shorter treatment times.
3-D tracking and robotic guidance of steerable delivery device
· to precisely target disease site.
Dynamic control of the amount and distribution of energy delivered
for real-time response/control to precisely conform to the treatment target volume during the treatment process.
ACOUSTx ® high-intensity ultrasound therapy applicator for interstitial percutaneous intervention.
This control of ultrasound energy delivery provides fast conformal therapy to a predefined treatment margin, completely destroying a conformable target volume while preserving the surrounding healthy tissue.
Catheter and needle-based ultrasound therapy applicators have been developed for delivering thermal therapy via percutaneous, intracavitary, and intraluminal approaches from within the body, directly adjacent to or within target sites not approachable externally. Ultrasound-based interstitial hyperthermia applicators produce precise controllable heating of clinical target volumes with high directionality.
