ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods are provided for positioning a therapy device, such as an ultrasound transducer, using a tilt sensor carried by the transducer and a positioner coupled to the transducer. The positioner provides roll and pitch control as well as translating the transducer in lateral and longitudinal directions. A processor receives signals from the tilt sensor corresponding to the actual rotational orientation of the transducer and controls the positioner to adjust the orientation of the therapy device until a desired position is achieved.
