Acoustic cavitation. A: Posterior aspect of rabbit heart used for ablation. Blue and orange circles indicate location of lesions produced with HIFU. Blue lesion was created using 1688 W/cm2 of acoustic power and the orange lesion was created using 973 W/cm2 of acoustic power. B: Histological cross-section through center of blue lesion. C: Histological cross-section through center of orange lesion. D. Zoomed in image of posterior field of view. E: OCT volume of blue lesion. Exposed face represents cross-section corresponding to histology. F: OCT volume of orange lesion. Exposed face represents cross-section corresponding to histology. RV: right ventricle; LV: left ventricle.
