Fig. 5: Overview of the temperature measurements in the cadaver model.

a Temperature curves of the tested endovascular implants (dotted lines: static conditions, continuous lines: flow conditions, shaded areas: heating cycles). The varying starting temperatures are caused by a slight temperature drift of the blood equivalent fluid, which was not actively warmed during the experiment. b Three temperature measurements at the surface of the PFN in the cadaver model. The red area indicates the duration of the applied MPI-sequence (further details see Table 3). During PFN measurements 1 and 2 only a single sequence was applied. For PFN measurement 3 a series of seven bursts was used.
