Table 5.

Measured and simulated temperatures at the end of the sonication for each patient. Sonication index for patient A in parentheses. For the measurements, thermal data from a 3 × 3 voxel neighbourhood centered at the focus is shown: average temperature at the end of the sonication with standard deviation, and in parentheses minimum and maximum temperature. For the simulations, the peak focal temperature after MR-voxel averaging is shown, as well as the focal pressure amplitude.
