ABSTRACT:
A lithotripsy workstation which can also be used for X-ray examination includes an X-ray device (5, 6) which is pivotable about a horizontal axis (7), and a shock wave generator (18) which is pivotable about an inclined axis (17) which intersects the horizontal axis. The focal point of the shock wave generator (18) coincides with this point of intersection, even when the shock wave generator is pivoted to the left or to the right to a position which is suitable for crushing a calculus in the left-hand kidney or the right-hand kidney.
