A Comparison of the Thermal-Dose Equation and the Intensity-Time Product, It m, for Predicting Tissue Damage Thresholds

Thermal dose is the most generally accepted concept for estimating temperature-related tissue damage thresholds in high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) procedures. However, another approach based on the intensity-time product I t m = D has been used, where D is a tissue-dependent damage threshol...
