Abstract:Background
This work aimed to identify a method to achieve improved stone targeting and safety in shockwave lithotripsy by accounting for respiration.
Methods
We set up an electromotive device simulating renal movement during respiration to place artificial stones within the phantom gel, measuring stone weight changes before and after shockwave exposure and the cavitation damage. We conducted clinical trials using respiratory masks and sensors to m… Show more
