Publication date:   Apr 13, 2005

Scope

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.
