Figure 6.

Percent of denatured water-and-salt-insoluble proteins extracted from the volumetric lesions generated at 250 W acoustic power with 10 ms-long pulses and varying duty cycle, relative to control tissue. Percent of insoluble protein was used as a quantitative measure of the thermal effect as solubility is lost with thermal denaturation. Error bars represent standard deviation, n=5–6. * indicates statistically significant differences (p<0.0125)
