Abstract
One embodiment of an ultrasound medical treatment system includes an end effector and at least three receivers. The end effector has a transducer assembly including a transducer having at least one transducer element adapted for emitting medical-treatment ultrasound waves and for emitting mechanical waves. The receivers are spaced apart from the transducer assembly, and the receivers are adapted to receive the emitted mechanical waves for use in locating the position of the transducer assembly. Another embodiment of an ultrasound medical treatment system includes an end effector and at least three receivers. The end effector has an ultrasound medical-treatment transducer assembly and has a transponder. The transponder is adapted to emit waves, and the waves include electromagnetic waves or mechanical waves or both. The receivers are spaced apart from the transducer assembly, and the receivers are adapted to receive the emitted waves for use in locating the position of the transponder.
