6.8.5. Adjusting the sonication duration for a regular treatment
cell
The sonication duration of 4 mm, 8 mm and 12 mm regular cells can be adjusted. Increasing
the duration may help in situations where the nominal duration does not deposit sufficient
amount of energy to the target tissue. Note that increasing duration will significantly increase
the near field heating and thus also the cooling time.
WARNING
Increased durations should only be used on highly perfused or vascular tissue, where
nominal duration is not sufficient to produce sufficient ablation volume. If duration is
increased on non-perfused tissue, the safety margins may be insufficient/compromised.
