Embodiment Construction
With reference to FIGS. 1 to 4, the therapy apparatus according to the present is generally identified by the reference numeral 10. The therapy apparatus includes an actual therapy device generally indicated by reference numeral 12, including a therapy transducer 14 which here takes the form of a naturally focusing cup-shaped dish, together with at least one ultrasound monitoring transducer 16 linked to an electronic circuit for A-mode echography. Those skilled in the art will readily recognize that the transducer 16 can constitute part of an A-mode echography device.
In one preferred embodiment, the active part of ultrasound monitoring transducer 16 is an integral part of therapy transducer 14 and thus does not constitute a transducer separate from the latter, although such an alternative embodiment would also be possible.
The monitoring element can be situated at the center of the transducer, on its axis of symmetry.
The monitoring transducer can be obtained by partitioning the metal...
