LithoLoc Usc

LithoLoc Usc interfaces Ethiroli Ultrasound to a third pary Lithotripsy (EXTRA CORPOREAL SHOCK WAVE LITHOTRIPTOR) machine.

Using this interface real time stone localisation can be performed.

LithoLoc Usc can be supported for both electrohydraulic and electromagnetic lithotriptors.

Electro hydraulic lithotriptors

These lithotriptors support only X-ray (C-arm) for localisation.

The advantages of LithoLoc Usc for these machines are:

• No radiation exposure to doctor and patient
• Real time continious monitoring ensures higher success rate
• Quicker setup time
• Ability to locate radiolucent stones
• Lower cost of ownership and operation - savings on AMC, X-ray tube cost and electricity

Electro magnetic lithotriptors

An interface is currently avaialable for Dornier lithotriptors have Z-arms. Ethiroli can interfaced to these lithotriptors and used for stone localisation using ultrasound
