摘要：
Provided is an ultrasound therapy system for treating a joint by providing a focused ultrasound wave to a bone surface as an affected part, and which has a temperature monitoring function for controlling irradiation intensity. The ultrasound therapy system includes a focused ultrasound wave providing unit provided on skin and configured to radiate the focused ultrasound wave to the affected part, and a temperature detecting unit configured to measure a temperature of the affected part. The temperature detecting unit includes an electromagnetic wave measuring unit configured to measure intensity of an electromagnetic wave radiated from the bone surface, and an analyzing unit configured to analyze change of the electromagnetic wave of the electromagnetic wave measuring unit to provide the temperature of the affected part. The analyzing unit provides the temperature of the affected part from electromagnetic change between a pair of reference waves for electromagnetic change which correspond to a pair of an emitted wave of the focused ultrasound wave provided from the focused ultrasound wave providing unit and a reflected wave from the bone surface and which are measured at the electromagnetic wave measuring unit with a time delay.
