DETECTING METHOD FOR CONNECTED CONDITION OF CURATIVE HEAD FOR CALCULUS-SMASHING APPARATUS AND CALCULUS-SMASHING APPARATUS FOR OPERATING ITS METHOD

摘要

PURPOSE: To detect the connecting degree of a treatment head with a patient's body, prevent the generation of an unnecessary impact wave due to connecting failure, and reduce the unnecessary load on the patient. CONSTITUTION: In order to detecting the connecting degree of an impact wave treatment head to a patient's body PK, an ultrasonic image Y (standard image) taken without connection is compared with an actual ultrasonic image X taken in the state connected to the patient's body PK.
