Abstract

The invention relates to a shock wave or ultrasound work process wherein shock wave or ultrasound generators are used to produce shock waves or ultrasound in a medium in which an effect is to be achieved, wherein to this medium is added a preparation which contains or produces microbubbles which cause an intensification of the shock wave or ultrasound effect, and to a preparation for carrying out the process wherein this preparation can also be used for the specific destruction of biological tissue with ultrasound and shock waves.
