摘要：
A method and system for reducing vascular plaque non-invasively comprising the steps of imaging at least a portion of a mammalian body to produce an image determining the location of at least one vascular plaque in said image ascertaining the location of the base of said vascular plaque, said location of base being the target location precisely determining the relative position of said target location with respect to the cardiac rhythm in the body delivering a beam of ultrasound energy waves from a source to the relative position to elevate temperature of said target location in a pre-determined manner monitoring the temperature of the target location and discontinuing delivery of ultrasound energy waves when said target location achieves a pre-determined temperature.一種用於非侵入性減少血管斑塊的方法和系統,其包括的步驟:對哺乳動物體的至少一部分進行成像以產生一影像;在該影像中確定至少一斑塊的所在地;確定該斑塊的基部所在地,該基部的所在地為目標所在地;精確的確定關於動物體內心節律的該目標所在地的相關位置;將來自一來源的超音能量波束發送到相關位置,從而以預定方式提高該目標所在地的溫度;監測目標所在地的溫度;以及當該目標所在地達到預定設置溫度時中止發送超音能量波。10...病人20...高頻超音波(High Frequency UltrasoundHFU)發送裝置30...心電圖(electrocardiogramECG)監測裝置40...核磁共振成像(Magnetic Resonance ImagingMRI)裝置50...處理裝置60...影像識別裝置70...影像顯示裝置80...HFU轉向單元
