Abstract
A shock wave treatment apparatus, in which a shock wave generator generates a shock wave toward a living body having an object to be disintegrated by the shock wave, and an ultrasonic wave probe transmits an ultrasonic wave toward the living body and receives an ultrasonic wave echo from the living body, in which a B-mode processor forms a B-mode section image from the ultrasonic wave echo, and a color flow mapping processor forms a color flow mapping image from the ultrasonic wave echo, and in which the B-mode section image and the color flow mapping image are displayed on a display. A processor for obtaining doppler information from the ultrasonic wave echo to reproduce doppler sounds from the doppler information may be also provided.
