ABSTRACT:
The disclosure relates to a method of ultrasonically locating and aiming treatment at a body target and displaying real time images of the body target. A treatment transducer produces a treatment beam of wave vibrations focused on said target and a separate scanning transducer displays images of said target on a display device during treatment with said beam together with a coincident image of a cursor which identifies the focal spot of the treatment beam.
