Experimental Nanopulse Ablation of Multiple Membrane Parasite on Ex Vivo Hydatid Cyst

Figure 3

Hydatid cyst morphological changes in the first week under different treatment parameters. All together 48 single different hydatid cysts were included in the morphological study. The living parasite is characterized with smooth cyst wall to keep normal metabolic function. The dead parasite is characterized with the cyst wall distortion and dysfunction. The morphological change is the direct diagnosis. When functional and alive, the parasite cyst is smooth. When dead and dysfunctional, the cyst wall is curved and distorted.
