Time-lapse nondestructive assessment of shock wave damage to kidney stones in vitro using micro-computed tomography.
To better understand how lithotripter shock waves break kidney stones, we treated human calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM) kidney stones with shock waves from an electrohydraulic lithotripter and tracked the fragmentation of the stones using micro-computed tomography (μCT). A desktop μCT scanning sys...
