Effect of overpressure and pulse repetition frequency on cavitation in shock wave lithotripsy.
Cavitation appears to contribute to tissue injury in lithotripsy. Reports have shown that increasing pulse repetition frequency [(PRF) 0.5-100 Hz] increases tissue damage and increasing static pressure (1-3 bar) reduces cell damage without decreasing stone comminution. Our hypothesis is that overpre...
