Use of ellipsoidal reflectors to focus shock waves in water in lithotripsy. (Die Fokussierung von Wasserstosswellen zur Lithotripsie durch verschiedene Ellipsoidreflektoren).

摘要

A spherical shock wave generated in the first focus of an ellipsoid is focused in the second focus after reflection. Shadowgraphs provide an impression of the converging process, while the pressure field is measured with specialty designed pressure probes ...
