A third shock head has been added to the Lithostar. This overhead module with integrated ultrasound complements the existing bilateral undertable shock heads with biplane x-ray amplifiers for stone targeting. Extracorporeal shock wave treatment of urinary tract stones, pancreatic stones, and stones in the gallbladder and bile ducts has thereby become possible in one true multipurpose lithotripter. Technical information and clinical experience in the biliary tract with the overhead module is presented.
Lithostar增加了第三个冲击波源。这个集成了超声的头顶模块，与现有的带有双平面X射线放大器的双侧床下冲击波源相辅相成，用于结石定位。这样一来，在一台真正的多功能碎石机上就可以对尿路结石、胰腺结石以及胆囊和胆管结石进行体外冲击波治疗。本文介绍了有关头顶模块在胆道方面的技术信息和临床经验。
