Effect of Stone Size and Composition on Ultrasonic Propulsion Ex Vivo

摘要

OBJECTIVETo evaluate in more detail the effectiveness of a new designed more efficient ultrasonic propulsion for large stones and specific stone compositions in a tissue phantom model. In the first clinical trial of noninvasive ultrasonic propulsion, urinary stones of unknown compositions and sizes up to 10 mm were successfully repositioned.
