Abstract

A passive cavitation detection (PCD) system has been constructed around a National Physical Laboratory (NPL) cavitation sensor. This system, which has been used to detect the acoustic emissions when ex vivo tissue is exposed to a number of different HIFU intensities, can monitor acoustic emissions throughout an exposure. It has been observed that for the higher harmonics, specifically the 4th (6.77 MHz), the emissions undergo a sharp transition from a low magnitude slowly varying signal, to rapidly varying and high magnitude signal. A sonochemical reaction (in a potassium iodide solution) was simultaneously monitored with the passive cavitation detection and a correlation with free radical production (caused by inertial cavitation) and high frequency broadband emission (7–8 MHz) was observed.
