Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An ultrasound treatment device (1) which comprises a probe head (2) that comprises an ultrasound transducer (3) and an imaging device (4), a deformable coupling balloon (5) with a cavity (6), between the probe head (2) and the coupling balloon (5) filled with a coupling liquid (7), a pressure sensor (9) for determining the pressure of the coupling liquid (7) in the cavity (6), a fluid control system (10), and a controller unit (13). The device (1) is adapted to switch between at least first and second operating modes (I, II). In the first operating mode (I), the pressure of the coupling liquid (7) is maintained at a first pressure value (P1), and, in the second operating mode (II), the pressure of the coupling liquid (7) is maintained to a second pressure value (P2) which is higher than the first pressure value (P1).
