The invention relates to an energy application apparatus for applying energy to an object, wherein the object (2) comprises a location (3) with radioactive material and wherein the energy application apparatus (1) comprises a location detection unit being usable for detecting the location with the radioactive material, and an x-ray unit for applying x-rays to the detected location of the object. Since the location, to which energy should be applied, comprises radioactive material, this location can be accurately detected by using the location detection unit. Moreover, since the application of the x-rays can be well controlled by controlling, for example, the intensity and the energy spectrum of the x-rays, energy can be accurately applied to the accurately detected location. The overall process of applying energy to the object can therefore be performed with increased accuracy. |
