Abstract

A medical instrument () comprising a high intensity focused ultrasound system () comprising an ultrasound transducer () with an adjustable sonication frequency. The ultrasound transducer comprises capacitive micromachined transducers (). Execution of machine executable instructions by a processor causes the processor to: receive () a treatment plan () descriptive of a target zone () within a subject (); determine () a traversal distance () through the subject to the target zone using the treatment plan, wherein the traversal distance is descriptive of the traversal of ultrasound from the ultrasound transducer to the target zone; determine () a sonication frequency () using the traversal distance for focusing the sonication volume onto the target zone; and sonicate () the target zone using the high intensity focused ultrasound system at the sonication frequency.
