Acoustic sensing of renal stone fragmentation in extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy
… emissions detected during extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (a non-invasive procedure for the treatment of urinary stones) to develop a new diagnostic system. The work formed part of a research project on lithotripsy undertaken by the University of Southampton in collaboration with …

Deep Photoacoustic Imaging and Acoustic Cavitation Mapping in Shockwave Lithotripsy
… disease is a major health problem worldwide. Shockwave lithotripsy (SWL), which uses high-energy shockwave pulses to break up kidney stones, is extensively used in clinic. However, SWL can produce cavitation in vivo, and the rapid expansion and violent collapse of cavitation bubbles in small …

An experimental study on the collapse of an air-filled cylindrical cavity under dynamic loading
… that occur in biomedical applications such as shockwave lithotripsy. No-boundary, rigid boundary, and two-boundary cases were also investigated. A transient pressure wave of 20~MPa peak magnitude generated by projectile impact was used to initiate bubble collapse. Ultra high-speed video …

Mitigation of intrarenal pressure in retrograde intrarenal surgery with a novel isoprenaline eluting guidewire
… it offers enhanced stone-free rates relative to shockwave lithotripsy and reduced patient morbidity compared to percutaneous nephrolithotomy, it is not devoid of problems, many of which are associated with intrarenal pressure (IRP). To alleviate the challenges associated with increased IRP, …
