Abstract:Editorial Comment Surprisingly little progress has occurred in lithotripter technology over the last 2 decades, and even less has translated into improved clinical success. However, recent efforts have been underway to not only improve technological aspects of lithotripters but to optimize treatment parameters to improve the efficiency and success of stone fragmentation. Zhou and colleagues compared the efficiency of in vitro fragmentation of stone phantoms with a Dornier HM3 lithotripter using 3 different str… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
