[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A method for generating high power therapeutic ultrasound waves in a propagation medium, said ultrasound waves produced by an ultrasonic transducer having at least one ultrasound transducer element, the method comprising the steps of activating said at least one ultrasound transducer element with an electronic signal supplied by a signal generator, the signal generator supplying a wideband electronic signal to said at least one ultrasound transducer element, said wideband signal having a multiple frequency spectrum, the wideband signal configured to reduce or prevent cavitation phenomena resulting from the propagation of the ultrasound waves emitted by said at least one ultrasound transducer element within the propagation medium.
