Acoustic Wave Stimulation Parameter Determination

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-calculating and storing treatment parameters for various head geometries in a database before actual use. During treatment, the system only needs to measure the patient's head geometry and retrieve the pre-computed parameters, avoiding complex real-time simulations. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining high precision through pre-computed accurate parameters while reducing device complexity during operation.

The patent uses copying by creating a simplified digital model of the patient's head geometry and using this copy to determine treatment parameters instead of performing complex measurements on the actual patient during treatment. The digital model serves as a surrogate that captures essential geometric information while enabling parameter determination through simpler computational methods.

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-calculating the focus point position and treatment parameters based on the patient's head geometry before the actual treatment session. The system determines the optimal focus location in advance using the digital model, so during treatment no real-time MRI observation or expert adjustment is needed. This maintains reliability through accurate pre-computation while dramatically improving ease of operation.

The system applies self-service by automatically determining treatment parameters and focus point position based on measured head geometry without requiring expert intervention or complex real-time monitoring equipment. The automated parameter selection based on pre-computed databases enables non-experts to operate the system reliably.

The patent uses copying by creating and storing treatment parameter sets for multiple different head geometries and treatment scenarios in a database. This allows the system to adapt to various applications (different body parts, different treatment goals) by selecting from pre-computed parameter sets corresponding to the measured geometry, maintaining precision without requiring specialized facilities or expert knowledge for each new application.

The patent applies universality by designing a system that can handle multiple treatment applications and body parts through a single unified approach: measure geometry, query database for matching parameters, apply treatment. The pre-computed database covers various scenarios, enabling the same device to be used for different medical and non-medical applications without requiring specialized configurations or expert intervention.

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the treatment process into distinct stages: (1) simple geometric measurement of the patient's head, (2) automated database query to match geometry with pre-computed parameters, and (3) treatment delivery. This segmentation allows the system to use precise measurement methods for geometry capture while automating the complex parameter determination, making the overall process easy for non-experts to operate.

The system uses copying by creating a digital representation of the patient's head geometry from simple measurements and using this digital copy to automatically retrieve treatment parameters from the database. This eliminates the need for users to perform complex simulations or interpret complex measurement data, maintaining measurement precision while improving ease of operation through automated parameter selection.
