ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for spatial location and destruction of an object inside a patient's body by means of ultrasound transmitted to the patient's body via a coupling fluid, the apparatus comprises a focusing transducer for generating the ultrasound piezoelectrically to destroy the object, at least two transmitting and receiving locating transducers for locating the object under visual observation, said at least two locating transducers being incorporated, installed or mounted in said focusing transducer and being operable to generate B-images which are displayed optionally individually and/or in combination as a spatial image on at least one monitor, there being preferably, three such locating transducers for generating the B-images.
