Normalized thresholds for inertial cavitation at 1 MHz in water (●), urine (△), blood (○), brain (▼), heart (□), kidney (■), liver (▽), skeletal muscle (▲), and skin (+), as a function of pulse duration for threshold criteria of R_max = 2R₀ (A), T_max = 5000 K (B), C_max,a = 1C₀ (C) and C_max,i = 1C₀ (D). Curves are the best fits of P_t = A + Bexp(PD) to the data (points).
