Apparatus for treating cellulite under the surface of the skin comprising a surgical ultrasonic energy source is disclosed. An ultrasonic energy transmitting surface is driven by a surgical ultrasonic energy source. The ultrasonic energy transmitting surface is configured to concentrate ultrasonic energy in the layer of connective tissue lying at the interface between the dermis and the subcutaneous adipose tissue. The surgical ultrasonic energy source is of sufficient power to cause disruption of the layer of connective tissue lying at the interface between the dermis and the subcutaneous adipose tissue during a dosage period. An imaging ultrasonic energy transmitting surface is driven by the imaging ultrasonic energy source. An imaging ultrasonic energy detector is coupled to receive the reflected output of the imaging ultrasonic energy transmitting surface. A computing device is coupled to the output of the imaging ultrasonic energy detector. A program resident in the computing device configures the computing device to generate an image of tissues under the surface of the skin of a patient. A display for displaying the image of tissues under the surface of the skin of the patient provides the person implementing the treatment with first and second images. The first image is a before ultrasound treatment three dimensional or other image and the second image is an after ultrasound treatment image of the tissue is treated. An applicator housing is configured to be held by the hand of an individual, the imaging ultrasonic energy detector is mounted on the applicator housing.

An apparatus for monitoring the activity of a surgeon. At least one wireless sensing unit is provided for monitoring potential damage to a nerve and is located at a first location of a body being operated on by a surgeon. The wireless sensing unit senses a change in the body at the first location resulting from potential damage to the nerve occurring at a second location of the body remote from the first location. The wireless sensing unit produces a wireless sensed change output signal indicative of the change in the body which is received by a receiver and generates a corresponding received output signal. An analyzer unit receives and analyzes the received output signal to determine the change in the body. An indicator responsive to the output of said analyzer unit indicates the change in the body to indicate the potential damage to the nerve the surgeon.
