Problems solved by technology

The positioning device of application WO2005 / 107870 is not easy to precisely locate and align the energy penetrating into the body region inside the torso, because the positioning device of application WO2005 / 107870 is arranged to focus the energy in the coronal plane mainly parallel to the outside of the torso and by covering the torso in the plane of the breast tissue rather than for positioning the focal volume and energy generating device along a direction substantially perpendicular to or transverse to the coronal plane into the torso
A further problem with the device of application WO2005 / 107870 is that the device is inherently space consuming due to the stacking of components as will be described hereinafter

Abstract

An apparatus for thermal treatment of tissue comprises a compact manipulator (37) for positioning and orienting an energy radiator (50) for heat treatment of biological tissues. The energy radiator (50) is adapted to emit energy in the direction of a focal axis into a focal volume. The manipulator (37) can adjust the position and orientation of a suspension body (20) in a plane. The plane wherein the suspension body can be maneuvered is parallel to a support face of the apparatus. The energy radiator (50) is suspended from the suspension body (20). The energy radiator (50) can be manipulated with five independent degrees of freedom relative to said support face.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for thermally treating tissue provided with a support surface for supporting at least a part of a patient's body and comprising energy mounted on a fixture for directing energy into a focal volume along a focal axis Radiator, and manipulator, it comprises the manipulator transmission unit with suspension body, transmission driver unit is installed on the manipulator transmission unit, transmission driver unit comprises at least one transmission driver, and fixer is suspended from suspension body, wherein manipulator The transmission unit can be driven by the transmission driver unit, and the holder can be driven by the manipulator transmission unit. Background technique [0002] A device for thermally treating tissue is known from the international application WO2005 / 107870. The device described in application WO2005 / 107870 is claimed to be suitable for treating tumors in breast tissue by means of High Intensity Focus...
