    摘要: An ultrasound imaging and therapy device comprising:
    - an array (ATA) of concentric annular ultrasound transducers (UT1 - UT5), and
    - an ultrasound imaging device (UID) situated inside an innermost transducer of said plurality of concentric annular ultrasound transducers,
    characterized in that it further comprises a mechanical linkage (ML) allowing a tilting movement of the array of concentric annular ultrasound transducers with respect to the ultrasound imaging device;
    whereby the ultrasound imaging device (UID) can be kept stationary and in direct or indirect contact with a patient's skin while the array (ATA) of concentric annular ultrasound transducers is tilted so as to move a focal point of ultrasound waves generated by the concentric annular ultrasound transducers within an imaging region (IR, IR1, IR2) of said ultrasound imaging device.
