Zusammenfassung:A method and system for treating a target area of a patient, for example an area of the brain which includes an occlusion: employ an ultrasound imaging apparatus to produce an ultrasound image of a region of a subject; register the ultrasound image to a computed tomography (CT) image dataset; identify in the ultrasound image a location of a target area via a marker of the target area produced from the CT image dataset; verify the location of the target area with the ultrasound imaging apparatus; and provide sonothrombolysis treatment to the target area while monitoring the target area with the ultrasound imaging apparatus.
