The ultrasound therapeutic system of the present invention generally includes a generator unit, at least one transducer treatment head, and a programmable controller. The generator is in operable communication with the at least one transducer treatment head such that electric power outputted from the generator to the head is converted into acoustic power by the head. Re-programmable software at the controller generally controls all features and functions for the system. In particular, the controller calculates an initial optimal treatment dose, maintains effective acoustic power transmitted to the patient through the at least one treatment head, performs calibration procedures for the at least one treatment head, controls outputting for each supported treatment mode, and provides for various other features and functions. |
