Lithotripters have also been used to investigate the influence of shocks to cancer cells and solid tumors. With two different trans-mitters (spark-gap type XL-1 and piezo-resonance type MW 2) we applied shock waves and short high power US-pulses to suspended and immobilized tumor cells and multicell spheroids. With MW 2 significant local damage on cell spheroids in gelatin was achieved, caused by locally controlled cavitation. The results are compared to each other.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessExtrakorporale Stoßwellenlithotripsie , Tumor , Zellkultur570conferenceObject
