Abstract
To provide ultrasonic treatment of animals, ultrasonic waves in a frequency range of between 15 kilohertz and 100 kilohertz are applied to water in a tube with a power density between 0.1 and 5 watts per square centimeter. The equipment is able to apply ultrasonic waves with at least two power densities in the vicinity of the portion of the animal with one of said power densities being more than 15 watts per square meter for sterilizing the water before the patient enters the tube and the other being less than 15 watts per square meter.
