ABSTRACT:
In a shockwave generating apparatus, a shockwave effective region pattern is displayed on a B-mode ultrasonic tomographic image of a biological body under superimposition state. The shockwave generating apparatus includes: an imaging cata acquistion unit for imaging an interior area of a biological body under medical examination, containing an object to be removed, thereby to produce image data on the interior area; a shockwave generator for generating shockwaves to be focused onto the object to be destroyed; a position detecting means for detector a focus position of the shockwaves in relation with an image of the interior area so as to obtain positional information on the focus position; an image memory for storing therein data on a shockwave effective region produced by receiving the shockwaves having a predetermined physical value, in which region damage caused by the shockwaves having a predetermined physical value is done to the biological body; and a display units for displaying the image of the interior area based on the image data and a pattern indicative of at least the shockwave effective region based on both the focus position information and the shockwave effective region data, the pattern being superimposed on the image of the interior area of the biological body "BO".
