Home Ultrasound-Guided Shock Wave Lithotripsy – Outline
This course focuses on the principles and practical application of ultrasound-guided Shock Wave Lithotripsy (SWL) with special emphasis on outline imaging and isocentric targeting techniques. It is designed to help clinicians and ESWL operators perform accurate, radiation-free or radiation-reduced stone targeting during SWL procedures.
Participants will gain a clear understanding of how to visualize renal and ureteric stones using real-time ultrasound, interpret stone outlines, and maintain precise isocentric alignment throughout treatment. The course covers patient positioning, probe handling, respiratory motion management, and common imaging challenges encountered during ultrasound-guided SWL.
By integrating theory with clinical workflow, this course highlights how ultrasound guidance improves targeting accuracy, enhances treatment safety, and supports consistent clinical outcomes. Practical tips for troubleshooting difficult cases and optimizing daily SWL practice are included.
This course is ideal for urologists, ESWL operators, technicians, and trainees who want to strengthen their ultrasound imaging skills and adopt best practices for modern, imaging-guided SWL.
Dr. Sameer Parmar is a specialist in Shockwave Lithotripsy (SWL) with more than two decades of experience in urolithiasis, clinical applications, and lithotripsy education.
Throughout his career, he has focused on improving the practical delivery of SWL through better patient selection, imaging, treatment planning, shockwave delivery, personalised treatment protocols, and operator training.
As Founder and Course Director of Lithotripsy Academy, Dr. Parmar leads the development of its educational programs with a clear objective: to bridge the gap between scientific evidence, lithotripter technology, and what actually happens during an SWL treatment.
His particular interests include personalised SWL protocols, ultrasound-guided lithotripsy, optimisation of shockwave delivery, treatment of complex and special patient groups, and the integration of new technologies into modern lithotripsy practice.
He currently serves as Clinical Application Manager at STORZ MEDICAL AG and is actively involved in international education and training in Shockwave Lithotripsy.
Lithotripsy Academy is a dedicated educational platform focused on advancing knowledge and clinical practice in shockwave lithotripsy and urolithiasis management.
All courses on this platform are conceptualized, structured, and designed by Dr. Sameer Parmar, with over two decades of experience in shockwave lithotripsy. His work is centered on translating clinical experience, scientific evidence, and real-world practice into structured, practical learning.
Select courses are further enriched through collaboration with invited international faculty, bringing diverse clinical perspectives and global expertise into the learning experience.
Each course reflects a carefully curated blend of evidence-based guidelines and expert clinical insight, ensuring that learners gain not only knowledge, but also a deeper understanding of decision-making in real-world practice.
