Embodiment Construction

[0363] figure 1 An exemplary embodiment of a therapeutic device is shown. The shown device comprises a carrier element 1 substantially made of a flexible material. The carrier element 1 also comprises a fastening element 9 which is arranged and equipped for fastening the carrier element on the body part to be stimulated.

[0364] In the illustrated embodiment, two transducers 2 configured to generate sound waves are mounted on the carrier element 1 . The transducer comprises a detectable element 4, ie a QR code, on the surface of the transducer 2, which is visible when the carrier element 2 is fastened on the body part.

[0365] The carrier element 1 comprises means for determining the geometrical properties of the body part when the carrier element 1 is fastened to the body part. In the embodiment shown, these tools are given by a grid arranged on the surface of the carrier element 1 which is visible when the carrier element 2 is fastened on the body part.

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of cell stimulation by mechanical energy, in particular by acoustic energy, for example stimulation by ultrasound, such as focused ultrasound (FUS). It relates to treatment devices and components thereof as well as methods for setting up or producing such devices or components. One purpose of the invention is to make devices for cell stimulation by mechanical energy more user friendly and applicable for a wider public and for additional applications. A treatment device for acoustic wave stimulation to a body portion is portable and comprises a carrier element (1), at least one transducer (2) and communication means (6) configured to receive operating parameters for the at least one transducer from a remote computerized device (7, 11). A method for setting up a treatment device for acoustic wave stimulation comprises at a step S3 of receiving operating parameters for the at least one transducer from a remote computerized device (7, 11).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of cell stimulation by mechanical energy, in particular by acoustic energy, for example by ultrasonic stimulation such as focused ultrasound (FUS). It relates to a device for sonic stimulation of body parts and a method for setting such a device. Background technique [0002] US 2017 / 0291044 A1 discloses an ultrasonic deep brain stimulation method and an ultrasonic deep brain system. The disclosed system includes an array of ultrasound transducers and a head fixation and positioning device provided in a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) system. The system of US 2017 / 0291044 A1 also includes a medical imaging device for taking head images, wherein a 3D digital model of the head is generated from the head images in a step after taking the head images. This complex and large-scale system is used to implement the ultrasound deep brain method disclosed in US2017 / 0291044A1 and to fine-tune and control the stimulati...
