Abstract: Non-Invasive Device for Gallstone Fragmentation and Dissolution Using Ultrasound and AI This invention describes a non-invasive medical device for the efficient management and dissolution of gallstones, integrating advanced technologies to deliver precise and patient-specific treatment. The system employs high-frequency focused ultrasound to fragment gallstones into smaller particles, enhanced by a cavitation-based microbubble infusion system for optimized mechanical disintegration. A localized drug delivery module administers bile acid-based agents to chemically dissolve residual fragments, facilitating natural expulsion through the biliary system. Real-time imaging provides continuous visualization and monitoring, while an artificial intelligence-driven diagnostics module analyzes patient-specific factors and dynamically optimizes treatment parameters. The device includes robust safety mechanisms, such as temperature sensors and automated shut-off features, ensuring safe operation. Its compact, portable design supports use in clinical or outpatient settings. This innovation offers a non-surgical alternative to conventional therapies, minimizing complications, reducing recovery times, and improving patient outcomes in gallstone management.
