一種緊湊型碎石機具有新型影像檢查與信息控制選項，使其比其它類型碎石機更加有用。

引進這種新型緊湊型DeltaII型是FarSight，一種整合型超聲工藝允許操作人員“看見你將要擊打的目標”。這種設備使用了一種整合進治療探頭而不是振蕩波軌道的特殊多頻率傳感器，從而能夠持續(xù)監(jiān)測碎石過程。緊湊型DeltaII提供了多重影像檢查選擇，允許使用者使用X線、FarSound超聲波或者isocentric超聲波。可以單獨或者聯(lián)合使用這些檢查手段。

緊湊型DeltaII型還有一個特征是具有道尼爾UIMS(泌尿?qū)W信息控制系統(tǒng))。這種數(shù)字影像系統(tǒng)綜合了高位患者數(shù)據(jù)控制系統(tǒng)以及復雜的DICOM(醫(yī)學數(shù)字影像與通信)功能。

緊湊型DeltaII型是Dornier醫(yī)學科技公司(Munich, Germany)的產(chǎn)品，該公司是一家生產(chǎn)碎石機、urotables、整形外科沖擊波設備、以及醫(yī)學美學激光設備的專業(yè)公司。該公司在2005年3月土耳其伊斯坦布爾舉行的歐洲泌尿科學年會上介紹了這種新型產(chǎn)品。

Dornier醫(yī)學科技公司首席執(zhí)行官Dave Eng評論說：“在緊湊型DeltaII型中整合FarSight與UIMS技術(shù)，為我們提供了獨一無二的系列便攜式碎石機，進一步完善了影像檢查與網(wǎng)絡功能。”

New Capabilities in Compact Lithotripter
 
A compact lithotripter offers new imaging and information-management options that make it more useful than other lithotripters.

Introduced in this new Compact Delta II is FarSight, an integrated ultrasound technology that allows the operator to “see what you shoot.” It provides continuous monitoring of the stone disintegration process, utilizing a special multi-frequency transducer integrated into the therapy head yet out of the shockwave path. The Compact Delta II offers multiple imaging options, allowing the user to image with x-ray, FarSound ultrasound, or isocentric ultrasound. These can be used independently or in combination.

An additional capability of the Compact Delta II is the Dornier UIMS (urology information-management system). This digital imaging system combines a high-end patient data-management system with comprehensive DICOM (digital imaging and communications in medicine) capabilities.

The Compact Delta II is the product of Dornier MedTech (Munich, Germany), which specializes in lithotripters, urotables, orthopedic shockwave devices, and medical-aesthetic lasers. The company introduced the new model at the annual meeting of the European Association of Urology in Istanbul (Turkey) in March 2005.

“The addition of FarSight and UIMS technology in the Compact Delta II gives us a unique offering for our premium line of transportable lithotripters, further bolstering imaging and networking capabilities,” remarked Dave Eng, CEO of Dornier MedTech.
