摘要:
PURPOSE: A focused ultrasound therapy apparatus and a focal point controlling method thereof are provided to conveniently obtain tissue characteristic information without measuring every characteristic about internal tissues.CONSTITUTION: A focal point controlling method comprises the steps of: obtaining tissue characteristic information, which is physical characteristic values that affect propagation of ultrasound, from a prediagnosis image, or a medical image, that shows tissues on a pathway through which the ultrasound wave is propagated from a location, where the ultrasound wave is generated, to a target location, where a focal point is to be formed(S701) and controlling the location, where the focal point is formed, using the obtained tissue characteristic information(S703).COPYRIGHT KIPO 2013[Reference numerals] (AA) Start (BB) End (S701) Obtaining tissue characteristic information for tissues on the propagation of ultrasound from a prediagnosis image (S703) Controlling a focal point using the obtained tissue characteristic information본 발명에 의한 집속 초음파 치료 장치의 초점 제어 방법은, 초음파가 발생되는 지점으로부터 초점을 형성하고자 하는 목표 위치까지의 초음파가 전파되는 경로상의 조직을 촬영한 의료학적 영상인 사전 진단 영상으로부터 초음파의 전파에 영향을 미치는 물리적 특성 값인 조직 특성 정보를 획득하는 단계 및 상기 획득한 조직 특성 정보를 이용하여 초점이 형성되는 위치를 제어하는 단계를 포함한다.
