“…This makes the machine more cost-effective. By contrast, an electrohydraulic spark-gap electrode requires frequent changes and thus potentially jeopardises the shock wave quality in terms of the pressure and size at F2 [15]. The improved efficiency of the Modularis machine could also be attributed to better treatment strategies and increasing experience.…”

“…Although any radiolucent or radiopaque stone in the kidney can be targeted easily with ultrasound alone, ultrasonic localization of ureteral stones is a more difficult matter [16]. On the other hand, ultrasonic localization of the stones gives constant control of targeting and ongoing fragmentation.…”
