Abstract

It is an important issue that cavitation is always deal with shock wave. During operation with ESWL(Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotriptor), the cavitation bubbles are generated at the focal region. This phenomenon is an important problem because the cavitation bubbles have a harmful effect on the disintegration ability and the human body. In this paper, therefore, we investigate the relation between the cavitation and the radiated sound due to the ESWL.
