    • Accurate localization and fragmentation monitoring are crucial for ESWL success.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce an improved filming technique for ESWL.
    • To enhance the visualization of renal calculi during ESWL procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a specialized cassette and grid holder for water bath filming.
    • Implementation of a novel filming technique during ESWL.

    Main Results:

    • The technique yields excellent film quality for precise calculus localization.
    • Satisfactory fragmentation can be confirmed during the ESWL procedure.
