Zusammenfassung:A system for delivery of ultrasonic waves to a tissue volume, including:an ultrasound applicator shaped and sized to be at least partially inserted into a vagina, including:a body with a non-planar surface, wherein said body is shaped and sized to be at least partly introduced into a vagina;a plurality of ultrasound transducers distributed on the non-planar surface of the ultrasound applicator body, wherein at least some of the plurality of ultrasound transducers are configured to contact a surface of a wall of the vagina during the generation of ultrasonic waves; at least one cooler configured to apply cooling to prevent overheating of the vagina wall surface being contacted by the transducers;a control unit, comprising:a control circuitry electrically connected to the ultrasonic transducers, wherein the control circuitry signals at least some of the ultrasound transducers to generate ultrasonic waves to heat the tissue volume.
