Abstract
A therapy system includes a therapy source () emitting radiation or waves, an ultrasound probe (), a patient rest as well as a multi-axis positioning system (X, Y, Z) with several drives, by way of which the patient rest and the therapy source () can be moved to one another in all three spatial directions. A control device () is coupled to the ultrasound probe () and configured such that in at least one operating mode, the control device () simultaneously activates the drives of the multi-axis positioning system (X, Y, Z) such that the patient rest is moved relative to the therapy source along a selectable movement path (B) which lies within the plane of an ultrasound picture () which is currently recorded by the ultrasound probe (). A method for positioning a patient rest relative to a therapy source is also provided.
