The invention relates to a shock wave therapy device with a shock wave source for the emission of a shock wave and an ultrasound unit for obtaining image information by means of the emission and reception of ultrasound, whereby the ultrasound unit is provided for the reception of reflected or scattered components of the shock wave for obtaining image information. In addition, the invention relates to a method for obtaining image information for shock wave therapy with the steps: a) emitting ultrasound using an ultrasound unit, b) receiving the reflections of the emitted ultrasound using the ultrasound unit for obtaining image information, c) emitting a shock wave using a shock wave source and d) receiving reflected or scattered components of the shock wave using the ultrasound unit for obtaining image information.

The invention claimed is: 1. A shock wave therapy device, comprising:a shock wave source that emits a shock wave;an ultrasound unit that emits an ultrasound and that receives a plurality of reflections of the emitted ultrasound, the ultrasound unit further receiving at least one of reflected and scattered components of the emitted shock wave;a B-image processor that receives from the ultrasound unit signals corresponding to the plurality of reflections of the emitted ultrasound and that processes the received signals corresponding to the plurality of reflections of the emitted ultrasound to produce ultrasound image information; anda shock wave signal processor that receives from the ultrasound unit signals resulting from the at least one of reflected and scattered components of the emitted shock wave and that processes the received signals resulting from the at least one of reflected and scattered components of the emitted shock wave to produce shock wave image information.
