Abstract
An ultrasound transducer patch () comprises an array of ultrasound transducers () mounted to a flexi-PCB () containing multiple tracks (). Each transducer (), or a sub-group of the transducers is electrically connected to first and second of the multiple tracks. The flexi-PCB () is configured, such as by virtue of cut-out portions () or by inherent elasticity, to be bendable a out non-parallel axes. The enables the patch () to readily conform to a complex 3D surface such as a portion of a patient's face to ensure efficient transmission of ultrasound energy to a desired area of treatment.
