METHOD FOR ULTRASONIC EFFICIENCY CONTROL OF LASER DESTRUCTION OF BENIGN BREAST GROWTH Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC A61N5/67 A61B8/06 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention concerns medicine, namely minimally invasive interventions, and aims at efficiency control of laser destruction of benign breast growths. It involves ultrasonic examination of breast with recording Doppler blood flow spectrum. It is followed with laser-induced interstitial diode-laser thermotherapy generating real-time ultrasound-aided high-intensity IR laser light. After achieving the therapeutic effect, on the 4^th minute focal vascular inversion of arterial blood is recorded as a variation of blood flow direction in arteries, accompanied by increasing peak systolic blood velocity and decreasing peripheral resistance in comparison with the reference values.

EFFECT: method makes it possible to ensure adequate real-time efficiency control of laser destruction of benign breast growths with the absence of radiation exposure of the patient and medical personnel.
