Dr. Lawrence Crum and Dr. Michael Bailey are using equipment currently available today, and repurposing it to move kidney stones that develop in astronauts who would otherwise have to return to Earth for treatment. The research is funded by the National Space Biomedical Research Institute, with hope that what works on patients in space will lead to better treatments for patients on Earth.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>Coverage:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nsbri.org\/newsflash\/indivArticle.asp?id=454&#038;articleID=155\" target=\"_blank\">News Release<\/a> from the National Space Biomedical Research Institute<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coverage:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.radiologydaily.com\/daily\/abdominal-imaging\/lost-in-space-kidney-stones-via-ultrasound\/\" target=\"_blank\">Lost In Space: Kidney Stones, via Ultrasound<\/a> from the Radiology Daily<\/p>\n<p><strong>Website &#038; video:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/http:\/\/www.apl.washington.edu\/project\/project.php?id=pushing_stones\" target=\"_blank\">Treatment with a Push: Ultrasonic Propulsion to Treat Kidney Stone Disease<br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Researchers at the University of Washington are developing an ultrasound technology that will reimagine kidney stone detection and treatment.
