A therapeutical apparatus includes a measuring apparatus including a probe which generates an X-ray or ultrasonic wave in order to detect the location of a target to be treated such as calculi situated within the kidney, liver, biliary ducts. A therapeutical energy generator generates a shock wave of sufficient energy for purpose of therapy externally of the physical body and focusses it upon the target. Structure is provided for causing a displacement of the generator and the measuring apparatus around the surface of a patient. Structure is provided to activate the generator.

Therapeutical apparatus of extracorporeal type

An ultrasonic treatment system for conducting treatment by converging ultrasonic waves which are generated outside of a body to a part to be treated in the body comprising an ultrasonic wave generator for generating the ultrasonic waves to be converged to the part to be treated; and an insertion tube connected to the ultrasonic wave generator for guiding an instrument, such as a syringe, employed to introduce and/or return a treatment material to the body.
