The collapse of single bubbles and approximation of the far-field acoustic emissions for cavitation induced by shock wave lithotripsy [PDF]
, 2011 Recent clinical trials have shown the efficacy of a passive acoustic device used during shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) treatment. The device uses the far-field acoustic emissions resulting from the interaction of the therapeutic shock waves with the tissue

Urinary stone ablation with a thulium fibre laser: a rate-of-completion evaluation
Вестник урологии, 2023 Introduction. The main disadvantage of using the rate of ablation of urinary stones as a parameter of thulium lithotripsy is the dependence of this parameter on the energy and frequency of laser pulses.
