摘要：
A method and system for reducing vascular plaque non-invasively comprising the steps of imaging at least a portion of a mammatian 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 thè 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 en ergy waves when said target location achieves a predetermined set temperature.
