A comparative review of extracorporeal shock wave generation.
نویسنده
چکیده
Shock waves are specific sound waves produced by shock-wave generators; the generators currently available have different physical properties and represent different technical solutions. The measurement of shock-wave pressure is necessary in laboratory settings to define the physical characteristics of a given shock-wave source. Under clinical conditions other variables, e.g. the stone-free rate or the percentage of complications, are used to describe the efficacy and safety of a lithotripter.
