TABLE 1.
Exposure parameters for volumetric liquefaction of human hematoma phantom in BH and hybrid histotripsy regimes: F-number (F#), operational ultrasound frequency (f0), pulse duration (tpulse), equivalent number of pulses per point (Np), duty cycle (DC), acoustic power in situ (Whematoma), peak positive (P+) and negative pressure (P−) at the focus, focal shock amplitude (As) and time-to-boil (tb).
