Further to my previous post, seems that one single formula suffices :
F[a_, b_, z_] :=
(4 Sqrt[a^2 + b^2 + z^2 + 2 b Sqrt[a^2 + z^2]]*
Abs[Im[EllipticK[(a^4 + b^4 + 6 b^2 z^2 + z^4 +
4 b^3 Sqrt[a^2 + z^2] + 4 b z^2 Sqrt[a^2 + z^2] +
2 a^2 (3 b^2 + z^2 + 2 b Sqrt[a^2 + z^2]))/
(a^2 - b^2 + z^2)^2]]])/Abs[a^2 - b^2 + z^2]
