ABSTRACT:
A medical treatment installation having an imaging system and a transmitter which generates a focused therapy field, such as focused shockwaves, for treating a pathology in a region of a patient includes components for displacing the position of the focal point of the therapy field relative to the region to be treated so that the focus therapy field is successively incident at a number of locations in the region during treatment, and a mark generator, which interacts with the imaging system, for generating an indicator in the image corresponding to each of the locations of the focused therapy field in the region. The mark may identify each location at which the region has been subjected to the therapy field during treatment, so that repetitive administration of the therapy field at a location which has already been treated can be avoided.
