Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
94 words
A method of hemangioma treatment comprising: selectively catheterizing a supplying artery of a hemangioma tissue site with a metal spiral Gianturko type catheter; acquiring an ultrasonic image of the hemangioma tissue site via an ultrasonic imaging device; introducing a hard ferromagnetic substance into the hemangioma tissue site via said catheter until said substance fills not more than thirty percent of the volume of the hemangioma tissue site, on the basis of said ultrasonic image; applying an electromagnetic field of UHF frequencies to the hemangioma tissue site for a duration of 10 minutes or more.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
94 words
A method of hemangioma treatment comprising: selectively catheterizing a supplying artery of a hemangioma tissue site with a metal spiral Gianturko type catheter; acquiring an ultrasonic image of the hemangioma tissue site via an ultrasonic imaging device; introducing a hard ferromagnetic substance into the hemangioma tissue site via said catheter until said substance fills not more than thirty percent of the volume of the hemangioma tissue site, on the basis of said ultrasonic image; applying an electromagnetic field of UHF frequencies to the hemangioma tissue site for a duration of 10 minutes or more.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
47 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein said hard ferromagnetic substance is barium hexaferrite used in the form of a suspension in 0.9 percent sodium chloride solution, the proportion of the solid barium hexaferrite and liquid sodium chloride solution being in the range of 1:5 to 1:10.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
37 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein said step of applying an electromagnetic field is performed once or repeatedly until a full hemangioma thrombosis is achieved, said thrombosis thereafter producing a fibrosis of the hemangioma tissue site.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
90 words
A method of hemangioma treatment comprising: selectively catheterizing a supplying artery of a hemangioma tissue site with a metal spiral Gianturko type catheter; acquiring an ultrasonic image of the hemangioma tissue site via an ultrasonic imaging device; introducing a hard ferromagnetic substance into the hemangioma tissue site via said catheter until said substance fills not more than thirty percent of the volume of the hemangioma tissue site, on the basis of said ultrasonic image; applying ultrasonic energy to the hemangioma tissue site for a duration of 10 minutes or more.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
90 words
A method of hemangioma treatment comprising: selectively catheterizing a supplying artery of a hemangioma tissue site with a metal spiral Gianturko type catheter; acquiring an ultrasonic image of the hemangioma tissue site via an ultrasonic imaging device; introducing a hard ferromagnetic substance into the hemangioma tissue site via said catheter until said substance fills not more than thirty percent of the volume of the hemangioma tissue site, on the basis of said ultrasonic image; applying ultrasonic energy to the hemangioma tissue site for a duration of 10 minutes or more.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
36 words
A method according to claim 4, wherein said step of applying ultrasonic energy is performed once or repeatedly until a full hemangioma thrombosis is achieved, said thrombosis thereafter producing a fibrosis of the hemangioma tissue site.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
47 words
A method according to claim 4, wherein said hard ferromagnetic substance is barium hexaferrite used in the form of a suspension in 0.9 percent sodium chloride solution, the proportion of the solid barium hexaferrite and liquid sodium chloride solution being in the range of 1:5 to 1:10.
