Figure Lengend Snippet: Estimated total copy-number of Leptospira interrogans DNA recovered from spiked samples of six different blood culture media containing approximately 50.000 Leptospira /5µl. All DNA extractions were performed with M5, the improved protocol adapted for all blood culture media. The mean copy-numbers are given above each column. Error bars indicate the 95% confidence interval. BD-AE: BACTEC™ aerobic Plus, BD-AN: BACTEC™ anaerobic Plus, BD-Ped: BACTEC™ Paed Plus, BacT-SA: BacT/ALERT® SA, BacT-SN: BacT/ALERT® SN and BacT-PF: BacT/ALERT® PF.

Article Title: Sonothrombolysis with an acoustic net-assisted boiling histotripsy: A proof-of-concept study

doi: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2023.106435

Figure Lengend Snippet: A schematic diagram of the proposed sonothrombolysis method. (A) The focal region of BH with dFUS system is placed on the target blood vessel. (B) When emboli approach the focal region, an acoustic field induced by the dFUS blocks the clot movement against the flow. (C and D) The captured clots are mechanically fractionated into very small debris by BH. During the treatment, PAED provides real-time information on clot trapping and cavitation generation. BH = boiling histotripsy. dFUS = dual focused ultrasound transducers. PAED = passive acoustic emission detector.
