Patent ID: 8043218

Claim:
A therapeutic endocavity probe for treating tissues by emitting focused ultrasonic waves, comprising: a support having a longitudinal axis (A) and forming a guide tube extended by a mounting head; at least one therapy transducer component received in said mounting head and having an active surface area (S 1 ) emitting focused ultrasonic waves, the therapy transducer component having a concave front face with a total surface area (S), a first diameter (d 1 ) in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, and a second diameter (d 2 ) along the longitudinal axis, where diameter (d 1 ) is smaller than the second diameter (d 2 ); a window in the concave front face of surface area (S 2 ); and an imaging transducer component mounted in the window; wherein the active surface area (S 1 ) is 1,500 mm 2 ±200 mm 2 , and the total surface area (S) of the front face of the therapy transducer component is equal to the sum of the active surface area (S 1 ) and the surface area (S 2 ) of the window, with a ratio of the surface area (S 2 ) of the window to the active surface area (S 1 ) of the therapy transducer component being between 0.45 and 0.25.
