Holograms can shape wavefronts to produce arbitrary acoustic images. In this work, we
experimentally demonstrate how acoustic holograms can produce controlled thermal …

Nephrolithiasis is a common, painful condition that requires surgery in many patients whose
stones do not pass spontaneously. Recent technologic advances have enabled the use of …

Purpose: We report stone comminution in the first 19 human subjects by burst wave
lithotripsy (BWL), which is the transcutaneous application of focused, cyclic ultrasound …

Purpose: To test the effectiveness (Participant A) and tolerability (Participant B) of urinary
stone comminution in the first-in-human trial of a new technology, burst-wave lithotripsy …

Holographic acoustic lenses (HALs), also known as acoustic holograms, are used for
generating unprecedented complex focused ultrasound (FU) fields. HALs store the phase …

Introduction and Objective: In clinical trial NCT03873259, a 2.6-mm lower pole stone was
treated transcutaneously and ex vivo with 390-kHz burst wave lithotripsy (BWL) for 40 …

Background Upper urinary tract stones are increasingly prevalent in pet cats and are difficult
to manage. Surgical procedures to address obstructing ureteroliths have short-and long …

Acoustic holographic lenses (AHLs) show great potential as a straightforward, inexpensive,
and reliable method of sound manipulation. These lenses store the phase and amplitude …

Accurate and efficient numerical simulation of highly nonlinear ultrasound propagation is
essential for a wide range of therapeutic and physical ultrasound applications. However …

Acoustic holographic lenses (AHLs) show great potential for sound manipulation. These
lenses store the phase and amplitude profile of the desired wavefront when illuminated by a …
