Abstract
Cavitation produced by lithotripter shock waves was characterized in vitro in water and blood, and in vivo in aortic blood by means of a 1.6 MHz resonant bubble detector. This system was readily able to detect bubbles resulting from shock-wave induced cavitation in both water and blood flowing through plastic tubes in vitro, and even in blood pumped by the heart through a plastic arterio-venous shunt. However, this system was unable to detect evidence of shock-wave induced cavitational activity occurring within the intact vascular systems of dogs in vivo.
