Předneseno na konf.:IEEE International Conference on Plasma Science (ICOPS 2010)/37th./,Norfolk,20-24.06.2010,str.1P-75: The purpose of this work was to demonstrate possibility to localize in vivo the action of the focused tandem shock waves at predictable region in acoustically homogenous medium such as soft tissues are. Rabbit’s thigh muscles were exposed in vivo to the focused tandem shocks with a fixed time delay between the waves of 10 μs. Trials with exposure to 1600 shocks have been done. The MR images of rabbit thighs after exposure to the tandem shock waves clearly demonstrated targeted lesions deep inside the soft tissue.
