A study of stone fragmentation in shock wave lithotripsy by customizing the acoustic field and waveform shape
Shock wave lithotripsy is the preferred treatment modality for kidney stones in the United States. Despite clinical use for over twenty-five years, the mechanisms of stone fragmentation are still under debate. A piezoelectric array was employed to examine the effect of waveform shape and pressure di...
