Abstract
In newer lithotripsy systems, SWL is mostly performed ECG-ungated with a fixed shock wave administration rate of 90 or 120 SW/min. There is some evidence that a reduction of shock wave frequency yield better stone comminution due to a decrease of cavitation in the shock wave blast path. It was aim of our experimental setup, to evaluate the quantitative effect of a reduction of shock wave administration rate regarding disintegration efficacy.
