Abstract
An ultrasonic treatment apparatus has an applicator for generating ultrasound for an object to be treated, an ultrasonic probe arranged in the applicator for acquiring tomographic image information of the object to be examined and/or destroyed, and an applicator support for supporting the applicator such that the applicator is movable in several directions. This ultrasonic treatment apparatus further includes a provision for changing an approach direction of the applicator between a downward approach and an upward approach to achieve suitable treatment of the object to be treated, a monitor for displaying the tomographic image information of the object supplied from the ultrasonic probe, and an approach direction indicator for indicating a condition of the approach direction of the applicator, whether in the downward approach or in the upward approach on the monitor.
