Abstract
What is described here is a method of and a device for visualizing the orientation of therapeutic sound waves onto a region to be treated or processed, respectively, using a display unit including a screen on which the orientation of said therapeutic sound waves is symbolically displayed with respect to the region to be treated. The invention excels itself by the provision that the sound wave source and the region in space, through which the sound waves are propagating, as well as the region to be treated or processed (hereinafter referred to as treatment site) are perspectively displayed on said screen by allocation of physical figures, and that the perspective view varies with the correct movement when the site or the orientation of the sound wave source and/or the treatment site and/or the site or the orientation of the screen is varied.
