Treatment and treatment unit using therapeutic pressure waves produced by source

摘要

The spatial position of the pressure wave source relative to the image producing X ray system is determined with a non-contact working measuring system. The region to be treated can be marked on the X ray image and therewith its position can be determined relative to one with projected marking. The positional data and the image position are processed in a computer, to determine the spatial position of the treatment region. The positional data and the image position are processed in real time, in order to control a graphic indication. Which indicates to the user the position of the pressure wave focus and the treatment region relative to each other, and/or that from this data is computed according to a specified criterion. Whether the pressure wave focus and the treatment region coincide. In order to produce a control signal, which activates an acoustic or an optical signal, or acts on a braking unit, for the holding arm of the pressure wave source.
