METHOD FOR OPERATING A LITHOTRIPSY DEVICE, AND LITHOTRIPSY DEVICE OPERATED USING SAID METHOD

摘要

The invention relates to a method for operating a lithotripsy device, whereby a shock source (2) generating a shock wave focussed in a focal point (S) is coupled to a patient (12) to be treated. According to the invention, the deformation of a supporting structure (3) carrying the shock source (2), caused during the coupling process, is detected and evaluated.
