Applications Of Shock Wave ResearchTo Medicine

2005 
Applications of shock wave research conducted in Tohoku University are briefly described. Its is emphasized that underwater shock wave research and its connection to bubble dynamics are one of the most important physical backgrounds to interpret tissue damages occurring during shock wave therapy. In addiction to ESWL, revascularization of cerebral thrombosis by using a laser induced liquid jet and its application to the water jet dissection method are presented. Lastly the development of a laser ablation induced drug delivery system is briefly described. In these applications implicitly and explicitly shock waves and their interaction with the bubble always play an important role.
