Fig. 5

Shown is the simulated time at which the tissue temperature has reached 100 \(^{\circ }\textrm{C}\) as a function of the contact areas \(M_{\textrm{cs}}\). Furthermore, the extent of necrosis at the time points \(t_{100}\) is indicated by the bars at the corresponding contact areas \(M_{\textrm{cs}}\).
