The medical procedure involves bubble formation during delivery of infrared laser energy in water (saline). Bubble dynamics plays an important role of optimization of laser power delivery for best stone fragmentation and dusting effects. A high speed camera image system has been used to observe vapor bubble formation in a water tank, but this method faces more challenge to observe bubble dyna
