Abstract

There is strong evidence io support the idea that cavitation plays a role in stone breakage in SWL. In order to better understand how cavitation bubbles interact with stones we recorded ultra-high speed movies of the bubble activity induced by single shock waves fired by an electrohydraulic lithotripter.
