Conclusions
Determination of changing material properties (σ(T)) and other parameters by means of specific functions (flc2hs)
Pulse of shorter duration implies tissue temperature reduction and benefits the electric effect in tissue
Temperature controller is needed to avoid the risk of thermal lesion
