Maximum electrode (E), interface (0), and intramural (1, 3, 5, and 7 mm depth) temperatures (T) and initial rates of heating (8), separated by experimental groups (columns). Shaded columns refer to groups with blood flow velocity = 0.26 m/s. Multiple statistical comparisons were performed within and between groups (see text).
