Cavitation cloud formation and surface damage of a model stone in a high-intensity focused ultrasound field

This work investigates the fundamental role of cavitation bubble clouds in stone comminution by focused ultrasound. The fragmentation of stones by ultrasound has applications in medical lithotripsy for the comminution of kidney stones or gall stones, where their fragmentation is believed to result f...
