ABSTRACT:
A lithotripsy work station has a table for supporting a patient which is adjustable in three spatial directions, with at least one shock wave generator disposed below the table. The shock wave generator is adjustably mounted so that movement of its focus to an isocenter is possible. For locating renal calculi, an x-ray examination apparatus is provided which transilluminates the patient at various angles. A plane defined by two central rays of the x-ray apparatus proceeds through the longitudinal axis of the patient supporting table, such that one radiator of the x-ray system emits radiation in an a.p.-direction and a second radiator of the x-ray apparatus emits radiation in the caudal-cranial direction. The x-ray radiators can be moved out of the work area, as needed. The work station can be used for shock wave treatments, for urological treatments and for x-ray examinations.
