All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A method for controlled mechanical sub-division of soft tissue comprising:
de-initiating a non-treatment portion of the soft tissue to increase a cavitation threshold from a first threshold to a second threshold in said non-treatment portion of the soft tissue;
outputting an initiation pulse sequence at a treatment portion of the soft tissue;
detecting initiation of a bubble cloud in said treatment portion of the soft tissue in response to said initiation pulse sequence;
outputting a bubble cloud maintenance and sustaining pulse sequence at said treatment portion; and
outputting a therapy pulse sequence which generates and interacts with said bubble cloud to at least partially fractionate the soft tissue in said treatment portion.
2. The method according to claim 1 wherein said de-initiating said non-treatment portion of the soft tissue comprises de-initiating said non-treatment portion of the soft tissue using a deleting pulse sequence at a pulse intensity less than said first threshold.
3. The method according to claim 1 wherein said de-initiating a non-treatment portion of the soft tissue and said outputting an initiation pulse sequence are performed simultaneously.
4. The method according to claim 1, further comprising: detecting cessation of said bubble cloud.
5. The method according to claim 4, further comprising:
re-outputting said initiation pulse sequence in response to said cessation of said bubble cloud.
6. The method according to claim 4, further comprising:
re-outputting said bubble cloud sustaining pulse sequence prior to said cessation of said bubble cloud.
7. The method according to claim 1 wherein said outputting an initiation pulse sequence comprises outputting an initiation pulse sequence at a frequency equal to a frequency of at least one of said bubble cloud sustaining pulse sequence and said therapy pulse sequence.
8. The method according to claim 1 wherein said outputting an initiation pulse sequence comprises outputting an initiation pulse sequence operable to create at least one of a vapor cloud or a plasma cloud.
9. The method according to claim 1 wherein said outputting an initiation pulse sequence comprises outputting an initiation pulse sequence causing an ionizing radiation bubble chamber effect.
