Benefits of technology

The technical effect that this invention provides solutions are improving patients' health by reducing their risks or making them better off from certain conditions.

Problems solved by technology

This patent describes various technical problem addressed within the field of medical science relating to control and measuring the temperature of body tissue affected by high intensity focused ultrasound waves generated by an apparatus used for electrasonics therapy. Current solutions involve applying direct currents to the target area while simultanously supplying alternated voltages to generate specific levels of heat without causing unwanted side effects. However, these approaches have limitations because they cannot measure the actual physical properties of the region being operated upon effectively. Additionally, existing feedback mechanisms lack precision and accuracy, making them difficult to implement accurately.

Abstract

An electrosurgical system includes an electrosurgical power generating source, an energy applicator operably associated with the electrosurgical power generating source, a processor unit, and a data acquisition module configured to receive a reflected signal. The processor unit is disposed in operative communication with the data acquisition module and adapted to determine a tissue desiccation rate around at least a portion of the energy applicator based on one or more signals received from the data acquisition module.
