Embodiment Construction

[0050] The following detailed description of certain embodiments will be better understood when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. As far as the figures illustrate diagrams of functional blocks of various embodiments, the functional blocks do not necessarily indicate the division between hardware circuits. Thus, for example, one or more of the functional blocks (for example, a processor or a memory) may be implemented by a single piece of hardware (for example, a general-purpose signal processor or a piece of random access memory, a hard disk, or the like). Similarly, the program can be a stand-alone program, can be included in the operating system as a subroutine, and can be functions and the like in an installed software package. It should be understood that the various embodiments are not limited to the settings and tools shown in the figures.

[0051] As used herein, an element or step recited in the singular and preceded by the word "a" should be understood...

Abstract

An intra-cavity ultrasound imaging and therapy system is provided. The system includes an intra-cavity ultrasound probe including a housing configure to be inserted into a cavity proximate to a region of interest (ROI). The housing includes a transducer array located proximate to a distal end of the housing. The system also includes a diagnostic control circuit configured to direct the transducer array to collect diagnostic ultrasound signals from the ROI. The diagnostic control circuit is configured to generate an ultrasound image based on the diagnostic ultrasound signals. The diagnostic control circuit is further configured to direct the transducer array to deliver a high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy at a treatment location based on target information derived from the ultrasound image.

Description

Technical field [0001] The embodiments described herein generally involve the use of ultrasound signals generated by an ultrasound probe to generate one or more obstructions. Background technique [0002] Women’s permanent contraceptive methods in developing countries are restricted by geographical, educational and financial barriers. Medical service providers suffer from inadequate infrastructure, access to basic sanitation and emergency necessities, lack of trained staff, and supply chain collapse. Women seeking sterilization face a series of obstacles of their own, including access to surgery, lack of ability to pay, loss of jobs and wages, and time allocated for transportation and recovery. Although rare, the complications of tubal sterilization can be serious, involving infection or complications of anesthesia. In addition, conventional tubal sterilization may not be permanent (requires follow-up surgery), relies on hormone treatment, uses invasive surgery, and cannot affo...
