Ultrasonics - Field characterization - Test methods for the determination of thermal and mechanical indices related to medical diagnostic ultrasonic fields EN 62359:2005

Publication date:   Aug 10, 2006

Scope

Is applicable to medical diagnostic ultrasound fields. This standard establishes - parameters related to thermal and non-thermal aspects of diagnostic ultrasonic fields; - methods for the determination of an exposure parameter relating to temperature rise in theoretical tissue-equivalent models, resulting from absorption of ultrasound; - methods for the determination of an exposure parameter appropriate to certain non-thermal effects.
