ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a device for the spatial, ultrasonic location of concrements found in the body of a living being, which are to be located at the focus of an ultrasonic shock wave so as to be destroyed in a lithotritor. According to the invention, an ultrasonic camera, which works in the reflection mode, is provided for the ultrasonic location procedure focal region which is adjusted to an object plane, which contains the focus of the ultrasonic shock wave. In this way, information from sectional planes of the body can be made available to the user, making it easier to position the concrement securely in the focus of the ultrasonic shock wave.
