Abstract
Description
本発明は、2006年4月13日に出願された米国仮特許出願第60/791,654号の出願日の利益を主張し、さらに、2007年1月16日に出願された米国特許出願第11/623,705号の一部継続であり、米国特許出願第11/623,705号は、2006年1月13日に出願された米国仮特許出願第60/758,797号の利益を主張する。

以下の記述は、本開示の特定の局面を簡潔に要約する。この概要は、本明細書に開示されたすべての特徴および実装を特定するようには意図されておらず、また重要な特徴を特定したり、主張される発明の範囲を画定したりするようにも意図されていない。
本発明の前記の局面および付随する利点の多くは、添付の図面と共に、以下の詳細な記述を参照することによってよりよく理解されるとき、さらに容易に理解される。
一例示的な方法は、HIFUエネルギーを使用し、底部の層を貫いて下にある子宮筋層の表面層に入る子宮内膜の全厚を含む子宮内膜表面の一部またはその全部を標的とする。この方法は、子宮内膜の切除を生じる。HIFUエネルギーはまた、治療されるエリアの血管が閉塞され、これによって虚血による子宮内膜の破壊がさらに進む。これは、さらなる子宮内膜組織の再生を防ぎ得る。子宮腺筋腫症の患者において、本明細書に記述された方法は、特に脈管閉塞効果の観点から、子宮腺筋腫症ポケットの閉塞をさらに生じ得、子宮筋層のそれら子宮腺筋腫症ポケットからの子宮内膜組織の再生を防ぎ得る。望ましくは、子宮内膜の切除のための処置は、リアルタイム経膣超音波画像案内HIFU療法を提供する装置を使用して実行され得る。
経膣リアルタイム超音波画像化を使用して、子宮頸部内の管を含む子宮頸部は、同時にHIFUエネルギーを局限化された病変に対して適用しながら視覚化され得る。HIFUエネルギーは、表面適用範囲と貫通の深さの両方の観点から罹患した組織を正確に切除するために効果的であるとわかっている。子宮頸部の中への組織切除の貫通の正確な深さが、子宮頸部内の腺に関係するものを含んで、すべての新形成の病変が、正常な子宮頸部の組織に対する付随的な損傷を限定しながら破壊されることを保証する。
