Ultrasound localisation for extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy: in vivo experiments in dogs (original) (raw)

Fortschritte der Urologie und Nephrologie, 1980

Abstract

Shock waves generated by an underwater spark gap discharge, focused by an ellipsoid can destroy most urinary stones extracorporeally. A device where stones are localized by ultrasound and where the ellipsoid itself can be moved to a satisfactory position would obviate the need for a very expensive two-fluoroscope localisation system and patient positioning device.
