The invention provides improved methods for modifying collagenous tissues, particularly for treating urinary incontinence in a noninvasive manner. The systems include electromechanical systems capable of exerting a variety of forces upon areas prone to stiction. Every time the imaging conditions are changed, an index representing a radiation dose is calculated and displayed. The wear degrees of the respective driver mechanisms are centrally managed, so that a comprehensive maintenance plan can easily be formulated for the machine tools.
