Abstract
The present invention relates to an acoustic window (1) suitable for implantation at an opening in a patient's skull (4), said acoustic window (1) being intended to cooperate with an external ultrasound probe (2) for the emission of ultrasound waves through the acoustic window (1), remarkable in that the acoustic window comprises a plate (11) including a plurality of through-holes (12), the distance (P) of the through-holes (12) being less than twice the wavelength of the ultrasound waves emitted by the external ultrasound probe (2).
