摘要：
The invention relates to a therapeutic system which comprises: an ultrasound therapy unit (1) arranged to insonify at least a portion of a body (2) of a patient with high intensity ultrasound, wherein the ultrasound therapy unit (1) comprises an ultrasound applicator (10) attached to a patient table (9) carrying the body (2) of the patient, and a MR imaging unit (3) arranged to acquire MR signals from the portion of the body (2) and to reconstruct a MR image from the MR signals, wherein the MR imaging unit (3) comprises a RF receiving antenna (14) for receiving the MR signals. It is an object of the invention to provide a therapeutic system which facilitates a good image quality close to the ultrasound applicator and improves the usability of the therapeutic system. To this end, the invention proposes that the RF receiving antenna (14) is integrally incorporated into the patient table (9).
