Numerical Analysis of Bubble Dynamics in Electrohydraulic and Electromagnetic Shock Wave Lithotripsy [PDF]
This study numerically investigated the bubble dynamics in electrohydraulic (EH) and electromagnetic (EM) shock wave lithotripsy (SWL). The acoustic pressure generated by a typical EH (i.e., Dornier HM-3) and EM (i.e., Siemens Modularis) lithotripters ...

New methods for the treatment of renal calculi : the St. Luke’s Hospital experience [PDF]
The last decade has seen extraordinary advances in the management of urinary tract calculi. With the introduction of minimally invasive techniques, like percutaneus nephrolithotomy (PCN), and non-invasive ones, like extra-corporeal shock wave lithotripsy

Targeted microbubbles: a novel application for the treatment of kidney stones [PDF]
Kidney stone disease is endemic. Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy was the first major technological breakthrough where focused shockwaves were used to fragment stones in the kidney or ureter. The shockwaves induced the formation of cavitation bubbles,
