SUPER ACOUSTIC MICROWAVE ABLATION PROBE WITH ENHANCED ULTRASOUND VISIBILITY AND ENERGY LEVEL MARKINGS.

Abstract

The invention is a super-echoic, multi-angle visible, energy-level-labeled microwave ablation (MWA) probe for ultrasound-guided ablation treatment of thyroid nodules. Precise targeting and visualization of the probe's energy ablation field on ultrasound are important for ablation of nodules within the thyroid gland tissue. The invention prevents off-target ablation and skin burns. The invention is a biocompatible metal or ceramic microwave ablation probe with a super-acoustic needle tip (2) whose special grooves enhance ultrasound visibility and its shaft containing a single-groove acoustic track (3), a double-groove acoustic track (4), and a triple-groove acoustic track (5) with 1st-degree adjustment according to energy MWA Watt levels.

Description

1 TARIFF SUPER WITH ENHANCED ULTRASOUND VISIBILITY AND ENERGY LEVEL MARKINGS. ACOUSTIC MICROWAVE ABLATION PROBE TECHNICAL FIELD: The invention provides superacoustic, different ultrasound-guided ablation therapy for thyroid nodules. The energy levels can be seen within the tissue from various angles using a labeled microwave ablation (MWA) probe. This is related. The fact that the probe is visible within the tissue via ultrasonography indicates possible off-target ablation. 10 It prevents complications. Also, depending on the energy level on the probe, it can be seen on the ultrasound. The signals indicate at what energy level and within what range the ablation procedure should be performed. This enables precise and accurate determination of the target tissue for ablation. It provides. TECHNICAL PROBLEM: The currently available MWA probe needles are used under ultrasound guidance, especially During ablation procedures, when the needle is inserted perpendicular to the tissue relative to the probe, the angle depends on the position. Therefore, because the echoes of sound waves hitting the probe do not echo back to the ultrasound probe, MWA The probe needle is often not well visualized on ultrasound. The thyroid tissue is located near the carotid artery (main carotid artery). its proximity to vital organs such as the internal jugular vein, brachiocephalic artery, trachea, and esophagus; 20 During MWA ablation, precise placement of the probe needle into the nodule is crucial. This is important. Off-target MVA probe placement, or the probe not being sufficiently visible on ultrasonography. It is associated with and can lead to lethal malposition errors with off-target organ ablation. MVA Depending on the energy (Watt) level of the probes, the effective length on the probe can increase or decrease. With other ablation probes, it is possible to see the energy level of the probe within the tissue on ultrasound. 25 No. In ablation procedures performed on thyroid nodules in the neck, the probe is not suitable due to the energy level. Due to the shaft being outside the target tissue, there is a risk of unwanted burns on the skin or off-target ablation. negative consequences are emerging. This invention features an MWA probe needle that provides high visibility during ultrasound imaging. It includes patterns, indentations and protrusions on the needle surface designed in accordance with ultrasound physics. 30 It has the characteristic of being super-echoic and visual in many respects. 35 2 STATE OF TECHNOLOGY: Many different echogenic needles and MVA ablation probes are available.
