When Lithotripsy is performed the patient may be surrounded by?

When lithotripsy is performed, the patient may be surrounded by a specialized medical team, including a urologist or nephrologist, nurses, and radiologic technologists. Additionally, the procedure often takes place in a dedicated lithotripsy suite, which may include imaging equipment for real-time monitoring. Patients may also be positioned on a treatment table, and sometimes soundproofing measures are in place to minimize noise from the lithotripter.
