Lithotripsy is a procedure involving the physical destruction of hardened masses like kidney stones, bezoars, or gallstones, which may be done non-invasively. The term is derived from Greek words meaning "breaking (or pulverizing) stones" (litho- + τρίψω ).
The analysis highlights History and Applications as prominent areas in the source structure around Lithotripsy.
Source areas are shown by the number of related topics found in each part of the analysis. Use smaller areas too: they can reveal specialized angles and content gaps.
Smaller areas are not necessarily less important. They contain fewer connections in this analysis and can be useful for finding specialized angles or coverage gaps.
