体外碎石机（Extracorporeal lithotripsy machine） F9e Extracorporeal lithotripsy machine (1) development and application of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy machine In 1969, Federal Republic of Germany Dornier (Domier) began to develop extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy machine In 1980 the first application of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy machine in the clinic, the non operative treatment of urolithiasis as possible, become a major breakthrough in medical technology in 80s, become a milepost science development in Department of urology. 1 development of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, the invention of this machine is inspired by an unexpected phenomenon. Shock wave is a high energy pressure wave produced by sudden release of energy in a medium (water, air, etc.). At the beginning of 60s, the West Airlines Dornier technology researchers found when the aircraft speed through the clouds, can produce a shock wave can make the device inside the aircraft and the aircraft is damaged, the casing is intact, this phenomenon has aroused the attention of physicists, in 1963 the company set up a research laboratory of shock wave. An engineer this lab in 1966 occasionally exposed to shock wave is the work of the target, his body has the same feeling like an electric shock, the erudite engineer immediately realized that this was the effect of shock wave into the body of the. In 1969, funded by the Ministry of defence of West Germany, the company began the study of the relationship between shock waves and animal tissues. They found that when the shock wave passes through the interface of the two mediums, reflection and refraction occur, depending on the acoustic impedance difference between the two media on the interface. Because of the vast majority of tissue acoustic impedance and water so close, shock wave propagation in water and through the body process without significant energy loss, and it wont hurt, only the lung tissue due to high acoustic impedance of air
