Summary of the main characteristics of the acoustic field during high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment for different exposure parameters

Exposure Acoustic power Maximum absolute pressure Maximum magnitude of intensity Location
W MPa W/cm2
NFD0.8, 0.6 J 4.00 32.0 25,778 Dermis
NFD0.8, 0.4 J 2.67 26.1 17,137 Dermis
NFD1.3, 0.5 J 3.33 22.9 13,284 Dermis
NFD1.3, 0.3 J 2.00 17.7 7970 Dermis

Time of single exposure was equal to 0.15 s and it was the same for all HIFU treatments
