Abstract
An ultrasonic diagnostic/treatment device includes a first ultrasonic wave irradiator that transmits a first ultrasonic wave signal to an organism for obtaining an image and receives a received wave signal corresponding to an echo signal of the first ultrasonic wave signal, a processor that processes the received wave signal to obtain diagnostic information, a second ultrasonic wave irradiator that irradiates the organism with a second ultrasonic wave signal for destroying medicine-containing microcapsules administered to the organism, and a controller that controls the second ultrasonic wave irradiator on the basis of the diagnostic information obtained by the first ultrasonic wave irradiator.
