First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for coupling a high intensity focused ultrasound transducer to a patient comprising:
- a fluid circuit for conveying a coupling fluid;
a pump for circulating coupling fluid through the fluid circuit;
a vacuum chamber connected to apply a pressure gradient to said fluid circuit such that dissolved gasses are drawn out of said coupling fluid;
a filter for removing particulate matter; and
a coupling reservoir connected to said circuit for coupling a transducer to a patient.
