Assessment of the efficacy of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy using a emse 140f dornier compact sigma electromagnetic generator, and determination of the effective energy dose

Abstract

The aim of this study was to present the initial results of extracorporeal shoc k wave lithotrppsy (ESWL) using a new mobile lithotropter machine - Dornier Compact Sigma, assess its electtromagnetic generator efficacy, and determine the mean energy dose applied.
