Abstract

A control apparatus (106) for controlling a therapeutic apparatus (100), wherein the control apparatus comprises: -an ultrasound control interface (110) for controlling a therapeutic ultrasound system (102), -a magnetic resonance control interface (112) for controlling a magnetic resonance apparatus (104) adapted for acquiring magnetic resonance imaging data from a subject and for acquiring magnetic resonance spectroscopy data from a subject (244), -an image processing module (124, 126, 128) for generating at least one magnetic resonance imaging image (500) from the magnetic resonance imaging data and for generating at least one magnetic resonance spectroscopy map (502, 514, 516, 518, 520) from the magnetic resonance spectroscopy data, -a planning module (120); adapted for receiving the magnetic resonance imaging image and the magnetic resonance spectroscopy map and for outputting planning data (732), -a control module (122) adapted for controlling the therapeutic ultrasound system using the ultrasound control apparatus using the planning data, wherein the control module is further adapted for controlling the acquisition of the acquiring magnetic resonance imaging data and magnetic resonance spectroscopy data using the magnetic resonance control interface.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the control of therapeutic ultrasound equipment, and more particularly to the control of ultrasound equipment which utilizes magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance spectroscopy to plan treatment. Background technique [0002] Ultrasound from a focused ultrasound transducer can be used to selectively treat areas inside the body. Ultrasound is emitted as high-energy mechanical vibrations. These vibrations induce tissue heating when damped, and they also lead to cavitation. Both tissue heating and cavitation can be used to destroy tissue in a clinical setting. However, heating tissue with ultrasound is easier to control than cavitation. Ultrasound therapy can be used to selectively ablate areas of tissue and kill cancer cells. This technique is already used to treat uterine fibroids and has reduced the need for hysterectomies. At lower power or in pulsed mode, ultrasound can be used to selectively deliver g...
