Abstract
This contribution summarizes the reasons for disagreeing with a conclusion by O’Brien et al. [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 108, 1290–1297 (2000)] that ultrasound-induced lung hemorrhage is not caused by inertial cavitation. An argument is provided that illustrates how cavitation inception conditions in the lungs of animals are not altered significantly if the hydrostatic pressure is increased by increasing the pressure of air that is being breathed by the animal.Keywords
