Systems and methods are provided for positioning a therapy device, such as an ultrasound transducer (14), using a tilt sensor (16) carried by the transducer and a positioner (12) coupled to the transducer. The positioner provides roll and pitch control as well as translating the transducer in lateral and longitudinal directions. A processor (18) receives signals from the tilt sensor corresponding to the actual rotational orientation of the transducer and controls the positioner to adjust the orientation of the therapy device until a desired position is achieved. |
