Table 2. The estimated acoustic intensity, in terms of Isppa, at the intended target location (AI@target) and its maximum value within the simulated region-of-interest (AImax@ROI), along with the estimated spatial deviations in targeting (represented as ‘Focus shifting'), based on the acoustic simulation. The skull thickness was also measured along the sonication path. Note that the incident acoustic intensity was 3 W/cm2 Isppa.
