1. A system for focusing acoustic energy into a human body comprising:

  • an array of acoustic transducers configured to transmit acoustic energy into the body;

    circuitry for focusing the acoustic energy at specific regions in the body;

    an acoustic receiver adapted to receive the acoustic energy and convert the acoustic energy into electrical energy;

    a pair of electrodes connected to the acoustic receiver and adapted to transfer the electrical energy to the body;

    wherein the circuitry is further configured to detect the electrical energy transferred through the body by these electrodes to determine whether the acoustic energy is focused on the acoustic receiver.
