- Scope
- Extracorporeal lithotripsy is widely used for the clinical treatment of renal and uretic stones. Lithotripsy employs high intensity acoustic waves to produce disintegration of the stones through a process of sequential application of pressure waves. Several different forms of lithotripsy equipment are now commercially available from a number of manufacurers. The document specifies methods of measuring and characterising the acoustic pressure filed generated by lithotripsy equipment.
