Abstract
The invention relates to an energy application apparatus for applying energy to an object. A plurality of energy application elements () applies energy to the object at different locations and at least one ultrasound element () generates an ultrasound signal being indicative of a property of the object at the different locations, wherein at least one energy application element is individually controlled depending on an energy application influence, in particular, an ablation depth, determined for the location at which the at least one energy application element applies energy from the ultrasound signal. Thus, at least one local control point for applying energy to the object is provided, thereby improving the control of applying energy to the object.
