Background  The aim of the proposed study was to conduct a feasibility study using a flat rectangular (3 × 10 mm 2 ) transducer operating at 5 MHz for removing atherosclerotic plaque in an  in vivo  model. The proposed method can be used in the future for treating atherosclerotic plaques in humans.    Methods and results  The plaque in the rabbits was created using high cholesterol diet for 4 months. The amount of plaque removed was studied as a function of intensity, with a fixed pulse repetition frequency (PRF), and duty factor (DF).    Conclusions  The amount of plaque removed is directly related to the acoustic intensity. It was found that the presence of bubbles accelerates the removal of plaque. In order to ensure that pure mechanical mode ultrasound was used, the intensity used does not produce temperatures that exceed 1°C.
