Device typePhysical therapy ultrasound system: An assembly of devices designed to produce and deliver ultrasonic waves that penetrate tissues and produce both thermal and nonthermal (e.g., mechanical and cavitation) effects to treat pain (e.g., muscle, tendon, joint) and as an aid in the healing of soft-tissue injuries (e.g., ulcerations, bursitis). It typically consists of a radio-frequency (RF) generator (frequencies from one to three megahertz are typical), a cable that transmits the RF energy to the applicator, and an applicator including a piezoelectric transducer that applies the ultrasonic energy to the patient's tissues through the skin.
