Numerical simulation of the impulse response function of one osteolytic lesion, sonicated with the focal point symmetrically positioned in the center of the cortical breakthrough, axial bone diameter 12 mm. a Temperature elevation at the end of a short HIFU sonication isolating only the cortical source, followed by a free evolution of b 40 s and c 60 s. d Temperature elevation at the end of a short HIFU sonication considering the cumulated source of heating followed by a free evolution of e 40 s and f 60 s. Temperature color bar and graphical distance scale are provided
