Histotripsy is a focused ultrasound therapy for non-invasive tissue ablation. Unlike thermally
ablative forms of therapeutic ultrasound, histotripsy relies on the mechanical action of …

CONTEXT: The introduction of new lithotripters has increased problems associated with
shock wave application. Recent studies concerning mechanisms of stone disintegration …

In this study, the negative pressure values at which inertial cavitation consistently occurs in
response to a single, two-cycle, focused ultrasound pulse were measured in several media …

Shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) has proven to be a highly effective treatment for the removal of
kidney stones. Shock waves (SWs) can be used to break most stone types, and because …

Over the past decades, different techniques have been investigated for detecting
microbubbles. The purpose of this work is to review the state-of-the-art of medical …

Ultrasound-induced cavitation in blood vessels is a common scenario in medical
procedures. This paper focuses on understanding the mechanism of microscopic damage to …

Lithotripters produce a signature waveform, an acoustic shock wave. This pressure pulse, or
shock wave, is responsible for breaking stones. However, it is also responsible for collateral …

Production of transgenic plants is a routine process for many crop species. Transgenes are
introduced into plants to confer novel traits such as improved nutritional qualities, tolerance …

Transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS) has been shown to be a safe and effective
technique for non-invasive superficial and deep brain stimulation. Safe and efficient …

There is provided in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the invention a method
and/or a device of treating tissue near a first lumen comprising inserting an energy emission …
