Abstract
A method of operating a device () for treatment of a tissue () of a living being and such a device () including a transducer () comprising at least two subtransducers (″), each for emitting a sub-beam (″) of ultrasound waves, preferably high intensity focused ultrasound waves, for irradiating the tissue (). Each of the sub-beams (″) is focused on or focusable onto a focal point (F). In order to reduce skin burns, the intersection Area (A) of a skin surface () for each sub-beam (″) is evaluated and a power (P) and/or a duration (t) of the irradiation, for every sub-transducer (″), is determined as a rate of the total power (P) or duration (t) depending from the evaluated intersection area (A).
