Claim 9:
10. Method for applying low energy ultrasound (US) energy from a non-invasive external US source to an internal body tissue/organ, the method comprising the procedures of:
(a) determining a treatment region over the internal tissue/organ;
(b) positioning onto the skin at the treatment region in proximity to the internal tissue/organ, two pairs of electrodes at crossed configuration of an electrical stimulation apparatus operational for inducing interferential electrical stimulation;
(c) applying interferential electrical stimulation through the electrodes to the treatment region, by applying a first current at a first electric frequency and a first electric intensity via one of said two pairs of electrodes, and a second current at a second electric frequency and a second electric intensity via another of said pairs of electrodes, thereby defining an interference pattern of resonant waves that revolve at an interferential frequency in said treatment region;
(d) transmitting ultrasound (US) waves at an US frequency and an US intensity to the treatment region simultaneously with said applying of interferential electrical stimulation;
(e) continuously monitoring impedance tracked in the treatment region; and
(f) dynamically changing at least one parameter of said electrical stimulation and said ultrasound, in response to the impedance as monitored, for maintaining the impedance of a body tissue in said treatment region within a predefined impedance range, wherein said parameter comprising one of: (i) said interferential frequency; (ii) said interference pattern; (iii) said US frequency; and (iv) said US intensity; and
wherein said internal tissue/organ comprises at least one of: lung; pulmonary tissue; and adipose tissue.
