Impact of renal function on efficacy of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy.

abstract：:Using high-speed photography and acoustic emission measurements, we studied the dynamics of a transient cavitation bubble near a stone surface and the concomitant shockwaves generated during electrohydraulic lithotripsy (EHL). At each spark discharge, a vapor plasma and subsequently a cavitation bubble oscillating aro...
