We evaluated the effects of respiratory motion in an in vitro model with an electromagnetic lithotripter, incorporating both an original acoustic focusing lens and a newer lens modified to have a focal size that better resembles that of the Dornier HM3. METHODS Spherical Bego Stone phantoms (44 trials with each lens) 1 cm in diameter were placed in a flat-based cylindrical tube holder attached to a translational stage and set into translational motion with various excursion distances (D), representing kidney displacement, with D = 15mm representing normal respiration and D = 30mm representing deep respiration. Three respiratory rates representative of slow, fast , and very fast breathing were chosen along with various drift factors. The Siemens electromagnetic lithotripter was aligned to focus stone at the superior position representing the kidney position at expiratory pause. Each stone treatment consisted of 2000 shock waves delivered with two different acoustic lenses, the standard and the novel with large focal size resembling that of Dornier HM3 with equivalent energies. RESULTS In 4 of 6 configurations tested with low drift, the new lens statistically improved stone comminution (p<0.01) compared to the original lens design. Comparing single lens results for different respiratory motion patterns, an excursion distance of D = 30 mm resulted in statistically lower comminution (p < 0.01) than D = 15 mm for all cases except for high drift respiration using the new lens. An increase in breathing rate from 12 to 24 Breaths per min resulted in statistically lower comminution for both lenses (p<0.01). CONCLUSIONS Comminution efficiency has a strong dependence on excursion distance, respiratory rate, and stone drift. A new acoustic lens with a wider focal zone provided better stone comminution despite differences in respiratory rate or excursion. Further in vivo studies are needed to determine if these results translate into improved clinical outcomes. © 2012 by American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Volume 187 Issue 4S April 2012 Page: e838 Advertisement Copyright & Permissions© 2012 by American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.Metrics Author Information Muhammad W.
