Imaging and correlation used for guided laser lithotripsy

High-speed imaging of phenomena akin to laser lithotripsy is performed. A new method for guiding laser light for the stone destruction is proposed. This is based on a combination of signals obtained from the correlation of fluorescent and ballistic images.
