T50: time averaged median temperature of target volume in cycle 2.
T10, T90: time averaged temperature of warmest 10% and 90% of the target volume in cycle 2.
CEM43-T10: cumulative thermal dose for cycles 1 and 2 calculated based on T10 time history.
Vext: volume of tissue outside the target volume ≥ 39.5 °C in cycle 2.
