Embodiment Construction
[0025] Turning to the drawings, FIG. 1 shows an exemplary embodiment of a focused ultrasound system 5 including a transducer device 10, drive circuitry 16 coupled to the transducer device 10, and a controller 18 coupled to the drive circuitry 16. As shown, the transducer device 10 generally may be introduced into a body passage 92 within a patient 90 and used to deliver acoustic energy (represented by beam 15) to a target tissue region 94 located adjacent the body passage 92. The acoustic energy 15 may be used to necrose, heat, or otherwise treat the target tissue region 94, which may be a benign or malignant tumor within an organ or other tissue structure (not shown).
[0026] The transducer device 10 generally includes one or more transducers 12 that are coupled to the driver 16 and / or controller 18 for generating and / or controlling the acoustic energy emitted by the transducer 12. For example, the driver 16 may generate one or more electronic drive signals, which may be controlled ...
