ULTRASOUND SYSTEM AND METHOD TO DELIVER THERAPY BASED ON USER DEFINED TREATMENT SPACES
First Claim
1. An ultrasound imaging and therapy system, comprising:
- an ultrasound probe;
a diagnostic module to control the probe to obtain diagnostic ultrasound signals from a region of interest (ROI) of the patient, the ROI including adipose tissue, the diagnostic module generating a diagnostic image of the ROI based on the ultrasound signals obtained;
a display to display the image of the ROI;
a user interface to accept user inputs to designate a treatment space within the ROI that corresponds to the adipose tissue, the display displaying the treatment space on the image; and
a therapy module to control the probe to deliver, during a therapy session, a therapy to a treatment location based on a therapy parameter, the treatment location being within the treatment space defined by the user inputs.

Abstract
An ultrasound imaging and therapy system is provided that includes an ultrasound probe and a diagnostic module to control the probe to obtain diagnostic ultrasound signals from a region of interest (ROI) of the patient. The ROI includes adipose tissue and the diagnostic module generates a diagnostic image of the ROI based on the ultrasound signals obtained. The system also includes a display to display the image of the ROI and a user interface to accept user inputs to designate a treatment space within the ROI that corresponds to the adipose tissue. The display displays the treatment space on the image. The system also includes a therapy module to control the probe to deliver, during a therapy session, a therapy to a treatment location based on a therapy parameter. The treatment location is within the treatment space defined by the user inputs.
