(NASDAQ: NDRA), a pioneer of Thermo Acoustic Enhanced UltraSound (TAEUS®), has recently been issued U.S. Patent 11147067 (the ‘067 patent) titled, “Method And System For Monitoring Tissue Temperature” from the United States Patent & Trademark Office.\n\nThe ‘067 patent relates to a novel method and system for monitoring tissue temperature during surgical procedures using ENDRA’s TAEUS® system. ENDRA expects that TAEUS® will be effective for both thermotherapy and cryotherapy procedures. The recently issued patent complements U.S. Patent 10631734, also titled, “Method And System For Monitoring Tissue Temperature,” which was issued on April 28, 2020. Each of these patents utilize different methods to achieve similar results.\n\n“The issuance of this new patent represents the continued advancement of the development of our optimized ultrasound and thermoacoustic imaging systems for a wide variety of applications where no practical tools currently exist, including for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD),\" explained ENDRA's Chief Executive Officer Francois Michelon. \"Our IP portfolio continues to grow and currently stands at 87 assets, which we define as patents issued, filed or in preparation.
