They mention using an ultrasonic pulse to pop bubbles around a kidney stone.

In scuba diving, microbubbles are what many blame decompression sickness on. I wonder if it may be possible to attach some sort of ultrasonic beeper to periodically burst them somewhere safe?

The microbubbles in scuba diving that cause the bends are the ones trapped in joint space fluid. That fluid doesn't circulate at a useful rate, so unfortunately you can't really "burst them somewhere else" =(
