(B) Typical setup for SWL therapy with the animal in supine position and shock source coupling bellow inflated to establish contact with the pig; a drawing of the main lithotripter components, acoustic focusing angle, and target kidney is overlaid. (C) In vivo stone comminution results from subgroups after eliminating outliers.
