Fig. 1 The fluoroscopic image of the stone (white arrow) from the first tube with the patient in the normal prone position. European Urology 2004 45, 352-355DOI: (10.1016/j.eururo.2003.10.012)

Fig. 2 The fluoroscopic image of second tube with the patient in the normal prone position. The stone cannot be visualized. European Urology 2004 45, 352-355DOI: (10.1016/j.eururo.2003.10.012)

Fig. 3 The fluoroscopic image of the stone from the second plan tube is superimposed on the image of the pelvic bone with the patient in the normal prone position. European Urology 2004 45, 352-355DOI: (10.1016/j.eururo.2003.10.012)

Fig. 4 The fluoroscopic image of the stone from the second tube when the patient is rotated 180 degrees in the prone position. The white arrow points at the stone which now can be seen. European Urology 2004 45, 352-355DOI: (10.1016/j.eururo.2003.10.012)

Fig. 5 The patient is rotated 180 degrees on the table. This change of the position enables the fluoroscopic image of the stone from the second tube to move away from bony structures of the pelvis. European Urology 2004 45, 352-355DOI: (10.1016/j.eururo.2003.10.012)
