ABSTRACT:
A lithotripsy combination, includes a therapy unit and a separate X-ray locating unit which has a first carriage and which can be coupled to the therapy unit via a coupling unit. The X-ray locating unit includes an X-ray source and an X-ray image converter for locating in at least two defined locating positions. Simple alignment of the X-ray locating unit and the therapy unit is achieved in that the therapy unit consists of a second carriage and a shockwave generator which is mounted thereon and which has a stationary focus relative to the carriage, that the two carriages (or parts rigidly connected thereto) can be coupled to one another, via the coupling unit, in such a manner that the coupled carriages can be displaced together and that the focus of the shockwave generator is situated, at least in the locating positions, on the central line which interconnects the X-ray source and the X-ray image converter.
