Abstract
A therapy apparatus has a source of acoustic waves which generates acoustic waves focused onto a focus and an x-ray locating means with which the subject to be treated can be irradiated from different directions, the central ray of the locating beam assuming a first direction for a first irradiation direction and comprises a second direction for a second irradiation direction. The apparatus has a positioning system with which the subject to be treated and the focus can be adjusted relative to one another. The region to be treated and the focus are adjustable relative to one another by synchronous actuation of the positioning system in two adjustment directions for at least one irradiation direction, this adjustment taking place in a direction that proceeds parallel to the direction of the central ray that belongs to the other irradiation direction.
