A schlieren study of the interaction between a lithotripter shock wave and a simulated kidney stone.
The interaction between a lithotripter shock wave and a simulated kidney stone has been imaged using laser illuminated schlieren photography. The images clearly show the incident, transmitted and reflected components of the shock wave and the associated cavitation.
