ABSTRACT:
A medical system has an X-ray apparatus with an X-ray system having an X-ray source and an X-ray receiver, and a therapy unit with a source of focused acoustic waves, the therapy unit being detachably coupleable to the X-ray apparatus. A method for coupling the therapy unit to the X-ray apparatus is also disclosed. The coupling is performed so that after the therapy unit has been coupled to the X-ray apparatus the focus of the acoustic wave source is situated at least approximately in the beam path of the central beam of an X-ray bundle proceeding from the X-ray source to the X-ray receiver, and the X-ray system can be adjusted relative to the source.
