球体の内表面によって形成される配置面と、出射される超音波の焦点が被検体の外表面の外側近傍でかつ外表面から所定距離（Ａ）だけ離れた位置となるように、前記配置面上に配列された複数の超音波振動子（１０）と、各超音波振動子（１０）の送受信を制御する制御部とを備え、制御部は、被検体（Ｍ）の内部の診断領域に向けて少なくとも１つの超音波振動子（１０）を発振させるとともに、診断領域からの反射波を少なくとも１つの超音波振動子（１０）にて受波して可視化する診断モードと、被検体（Ｍ）の内部に向けて少なくとも１つの超音波振動子（１０）を発振させる治療モードを有している。 An ultrasonic diagnosis/treatment device includes a placement surface formed of an inner surface of a sphere; a plurality of ultrasonic transducers placed on the placement surface so that a focal point of an ultrasonic wave to be emitted is located at a position that is near an outside of an outer surface of a subject and is spaced apart from the outer surface by a predetermined distance; and a control part configured to control transmission and reception of each of the ultrasonic transducers. The control part includes a diagnosis mode in which at least one ultrasonic transducer is oscillated toward a diagnosis region within a subject and a reflected wave from the diagnosis region is received by the at least one ultrasonic transducer to visualize the reflected wave, and a treatment mode in which the at least one ultrasonic transducer is oscillated toward an inside of the subject.
