ABSTRACT:
A system for imaging tissue during ultrasound therapy treatments is described. The system has a high intensity focused ultrasound transducer, video display and controller. The controller has two receive paths for detecting cavitation and boiling in present during an ultrasound therapy treatment, and representing the two visually on a display.
