A portable dual-mode ultrasound platform with multi-rail voltage power supply for adaptive diagnostic imaging and therapy sequence programming

Noninvasive focused ultrasound-based technologies are being used in many medical applications such as High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) ablation, lithotripsy and acoustic radiation force (ARF) based measurement and therapy. This paper demonstrates that a simple augmentation to an existing small ultrasound system can be developed to be able to transmit at the required power in these high-power ultrasound applications.
