ABSTRACT:
A lithotripsy work station having a patient support table and an adjustable mounting arrangement for the shockwave generator which has a coupling chamber with a membrane for coupling the shockwave generator to the patient characterized by the mounting arrangement positioning the shockwave generator directly above the patient supporting table. The shockwave generator can be mounted by a holder which rotates around a vertical axis above the patient supporting table so that a longitudinal axis of the generator can be aligned to intersect with the vertical axis roughly through the center of the patient supporting table. The mounting means can also be a separate holder which is movable in a horizontal direction that is secured to a ceiling in the room or is on a unit movable on the floor. In each of the embodiments, the shockwave generator can be mounted by an adjustable mechanism that allows changing the angle between the vertical axis and the longitudinal axis of the generator.
