Abstract
A system includes a first coil, a signal source and a first control module. The first control module regulates coupling between the signal source and the first coil. The system also includes an implantable device having a second coil coupled to a therapeutic transducer comprising an ultrasonic transducer. When the first coil is aligned with the second coil, the signal source is able to supply electrical power to the implantable device to enable the therapeutic transducer to operate. The control module is able to activate the therapeutic transducer under the control of a physician.
