Zusammenfassung:Targeting methods and devices for non-invasive therapy delivery are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for targeting an object in a body using ultrasound includes: producing a therapy ultrasound waveform configured to fragment or comminute the object in the body using a therapy transducer of an ultrasound probe; and acquiring a sound waveform by a receiver. The sound waveform is at least in part caused by interactions of the therapy ultrasound with the object. The method also includes generating an indication of a targeting accuracy based on the acquired sound waveform.
