[Sonography and biliary extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy].
Ultrasound is an indispensable tool for preliminary diagnosis ('filter function'), during treatment ('monitoring function') and in the followup examinations ('follow-up function') after shock wave lithotripsy of gallstones. It permits rapid and reliable assessment of the therapeutic outcome and early identification of complications, which experience to date has shown to be rare.
