The present disclosure provides a positioning method for head and neck assessment comprising positioning a probe to the head and neck structures of a subject according to reference planes defined by light beams.

Method for head and neck assessment or intervention

An adaptable classification method is provided. The method performs the classification by using a classification standard having a plurality of categories. The classification standard is classified into different categories based on probability ranges. The adaptable classification method includes training a classifying device with a plurality of samples and using the trained classifying device to determine the categories of the samples to obtain classification model scores of the samples, transferring, by using logistic-like functions, the classification model scores into probability values; and adjusting parameters of logistic-like functions to iterate the training of the classifying device such that the probability values conform to value ranges corresponding to categories of the classification standard. The adaptable classification method is applicable to various classification methods based on the probability ranges, and can also retrieve a specific category from the classified categories for further classification to increase the efficacy.

A non-invasive positioning system for determining the focus location of a HIFU device comprises a diagnostic ultrasound and the HIFU for ablating and removing tumor tissue. The imaging plane of the diagnostic ultrasound probe and the geometrical axis of a probe of the HIFU define an inclining angle during operation. When the imaging plane of the diagnostic ultrasound intersected to the focus of the HIFU transducer, a maximal convergent interference signals was obtained, so as to position the HIFU focus within tumors for precise ablation.
