W
o1x1
: For non–scanning modes and/or non–scanning components of combi-
national modes: time average acoustic power at the source, per cm
2
, in
milliwatts. This is the acoustic power emitted from the central 1 cm
2
of the
active non–scanned aperture through which the highest acoustic power is
being transmitted.
W
.3
(z
1
) the derated ultrasonic power at axial distance z
1
(milliwatts).
I
TA.3
(z
1
) the derated spatial-peak, temporal-average intensity at axial distance z
1
(milliwatts
per square centimeter).
z
1
the axial distance corresponding to the location of max[min (W
.3
(z), I
TA.3
(z) x 1 cm
2
)],
where z = z
bp
(centimeters).
z
bp
(centimeters).
z
sp
For MI, the axial distance at which p
r.3
is measured for TIB, the axial distance at which
TIB is a maximum (i.e., z
sp
= z
B.3
) (centimeters).
d
eq
(z) the equivalent beam diameter as a function of axial distance z, and is equal to [ (4/ )
(W
o
/I
TA
(z))]
0.5
where I
TA
(z) is the temporal-average intensity as a function of z (centi-
meters).
f
c
is the center frequency (MHz). For MI, f
c
is the center frequency associated with the
transmit pattern giving rise to the maximum reported value of MI. For TI, for com-
bined modes involving transmit patterns of unequal center frequency, f
c
is dened
as the overall range of center frequencies of the respective transmit patterns.
Dim. of A
aprt
the active aperture dimensions for the azimuthal and elevational planes (centime-
ters).
PD the pulse duration (microseconds) associated with the transmit pattern giving rise
to the reported value of MI.
PRF the pulse repetition frequency associated with the transmit pattern giving rise to the
reported value of MI (Hz).
p
r
@PII
max
the peak rarefactional pressure at the point where the free eld, spatial-peak pulse
intensity integral is a maximum (megapascals). See Section 6.2.4.1 of the Output
Display Standard, entitled “Measurement Methodology for Mechanical and Thermal
Indices”.
deq@PIImax the equivalent beam diameter at the point where the free eld, spatial-peak pulse
intensity integral is a maximum (centimeters). See Section 6.2.5.1 of the Output
Display Standard, entitled “Measurement Methodology for Mechanical and Thermal
Indices”.
FL the focal length, or azimuthal and elevational lengths, if dierent (centimeters).
I
PA.3
@MI
max
the derated pulse average intensity at the point of maximum reported MI (Watts per
square centimeter).
Measurement uncertainties for acoustic quantities (power, pressure, intensities and center frequency)
should be provided.
Explanatory Notes
(a) This index is not required to this operating mode.
(b) This probe is not intended for adult transcranial uses.
(c) This formulation for TIS is less than that for an alternate formulation in this mode.
(d) The maximum index value is less than 1.0
* PRF for scanning modes is the product of the frame rate and the number of pulse per line
