The head also includes a treatment mechanism suitable for treating the organ or tissue locally. The treatment mechanism is suitable for emitting waves or radiation so as to treat the organ or the tissue. The head is characterized in that the ultrasonic probe is mounted in a removable manner on an adapter that ensures positioning of the ultrasonic probe relative to the treatment mechanism.
