Lithotripsy method and system without patient relocation between diagnostic imaging and treatment

摘要

In a method to disintegrate a calculus in a patient by shockwave lithotripsy, a 3D image data set of the patient is generated in a first step; the shockwave lithotripsy is conducted in a second step; and first step and second step are conducted with an unchanged position of the patient. A lithotripsy system to disintegrate a calculus in a patient has a shockwave system to disintegrate the calculus and a 3D imaging system to generate a 3D image data set of the patient without movement of the patient.
