<p>A shock wave treatment apparatus has a piezo-electric transducer (15) for creating a convergent point of shock wave to crush a to-be-crushed object in a living body. A water tank (33) filled with water is disposed under the shock wave transmission surface of the piezo-electric transducer. Further, an ultrasonic wave transducer (16) is disposed in the water tank in the shock wave transmission range of the piezo-electric transducer and has an ultrasonic wave transmission/reception surface held in substantially the same plane as the bottom surface of the water tank. The ultrasonic wave transducer is used to collect tomographic image date of the living body with the ultrasonic wave transmission/reception surface set in contact with the surface of the living body.</p> |
