[

The bio-signal collectors 100-1 to 100-j measure and collect the real-time status information of the patient before the patient receives the liposuction procedure or during the liposuction procedure. In this case, the real-time status information of the patient refers to the amount of change of the human body such as blood pressure, blood sugar, pulse, body temperature, electrocardiogram, body fat percentage, blood viscosity, blood fat concentration and measurement temperature at the treatment site. Information that can be given.

The system control unit 200 receives the patient status information from the bio-signal collectors 100-1 to 100-j, analyzes the status information of the received patient, and sets a safety standard index for determining the risk . In addition, the system control unit 200 controls the entire system according to the established safety standard index. The safety standard index is shown in Fig. 2, which will be described later.

The diagnosis unit 300 images the operation site using ultrasonic waves and sets the operation range using the imaged image and the safety standard index set by the system control unit 200. If it is determined that the system control unit 200 is in a dangerous state as a result of the determination using the safety standard index during the procedure, the procedure range set by the diagnosis unit 300 is modified according to the dangerous level. In other words, when the patient is at risk during the procedure, the patient's body burden can be reduced by making modifications such as narrowing the treatment scope in consideration of the risk.

The diagnosis unit 300 measures fat removal and melting states. For example, when fat is melted by high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), the power of the high-intensity focusing ultrasound, the irradiation time, the size of the irradiation range, the focal depth, the steering, Measure and analyze the amount of change that fat melts based on the number of focusings, echo signal analysis results, and so on.

For example, the non-invasive skin care diagnostic treatment method and apparatus or the treatment unit 400 for inhalation may be a fat removal apparatus using high intensity focused ultrasound. In this case, the treatment unit 400 is controlled preferentially by the system control unit 200, and the irradiation range of the high-intensity focused ultrasonic waves is controlled so as not to deviate from the treatment range set in the diagnosis unit 300. [ If the system control unit 200 determines that the system is in a dangerous state as a result of the determination using the safety standard index, the power, irradiation range, irradiation time, and focal distance Focal Depth, steering, and number of focuses. That is, when the patient is in danger during the procedure, the operation unit 400 is controlled by the system control unit 200, thereby reducing the burden on the patient's body.

The skin management unit 500 may be included in the fat removal system in which real-time physical condition information of the patient according to an embodiment of the present invention is taken into consideration in order to extract a large amount of fat in a short time.

When the fat is melted by the treatment unit 400, the skin management unit 500 sucks and extracts the melted fat through the minimum probe according to the degree of the melted fat. For example, the skin management unit 500 may detect the melted fat by collecting the medium information (temperature, hardness, image, etc.) of the corresponding site using an echo signal of the ultrasonic wave, And the fat is inhaled using the melted state information measured by the controller 300. At this time, the skin management unit 500 may measure the real-time temperature of the treatment site and transmit the real-time measured temperature information to the system control unit 200 and the treatment unit 400.

Information that can be given.

As shown in the figure, the numerical grade is represented by L (i) when the numerical value of the patient's state information is lower than normal, with reference to S (stationary) indicating the steady state, and when the numerical value is higher than normal H (j). At this time, i and j are determined according to the setting for deriving the risk level.

The numerical grade of the safety standard index can be set automatically or manually according to the patient's physical information (height, weight, age, etc.).

The risk level is determined according to a combination of numerical values of real-time state information of the patient collected in the body signal collectors 100-1 to 100-j, and the Variation Volume is determined based on the real- It indicates the degree of change of the numerical value and is used as a factor to determine the risk level through the amount of accumulated data accumulated over time.

In addition, the risk level is determined using the combination of L (i) and H (j) values that deviates from the normal value in the safety standard index, and the entire system is controlled according to the risk level.
