Abstract
Litiasis urinaria is appearing more frequently with approximately 12% of the population with a stone in the urinary system at any moment of their life. The stone produces severe colics causing pain in the transit through the ureter. This is probably one of the worst pains and experiences in human beings. The treatment by extracorporated lithotripsy consists of powdering or smashing into pieces the stones in the kidney and ureter. This has been done with the help of shock waves generated from a canon and which are focused on the stone. The machine used is aimed and the procedure is monitored by way of X rays. The high number of patients treated per year and the doses applied to the patients during the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up led to this study. 7 refs, 5 figs, 4 tabs.
