    Abstract: The present invention relates to a treating apparatus which can be used with a radiation source and which can particularly be employed in lithotripsy, a shockwave source being provided which generates shockwaves and with which shockwaves can be sent to an object to be treated, and a radiation locating device being also provided which is integrated into the shockwave source. To provide a treating apparatus of this type which despite the use with a radiation source permits a high image quality and accurate focusing of the shockwaves in a way which is as easy as possible, the radiation locating device comprises a radiation receiving unit which is configured as a solid-state detector. The solid-state detector can include both radiation locating units and ultrasonic locating units.
