FDA Tables
Symbols and Denitions
All table entries have been obtained at the same operating conditions that give rise to
the maximum Index Value in the second row. Due to the complexities of the system user
interface, it may be dicult to exactly replicate the declared condition. Contact Samsung
Medison for further information.
Symbols used in the table are described below.
MI the Mechanical Index.
TIS
scan
the Soft Tissue Thermal Index in an auto-scanning mode.
TIS
non–scan
the Soft Tissue Thermal Index in a non-auto-scanning mode.
TIB the Bone Thermal Index.
TIC the Cranial Thermal Index.
A
aprt
the area of the active aperture (square centimeters).
p
r.3
the derated peak rarefactional pressure associated with the transmit
pattern giving rise to the value reported under MI (meg zapascals).
W
o
For TIB and TIC: time average acoustic power at the source, in milliwatts.
(Also see the denitions for W
01
and W
01x1
that follow.)
For TIS scan, W
o =
W
o1
+
W
o1x1
For TIS non–scan, W
o
=
W
o1x1
W
o1
For scanning modes and/or scanning components of combinational modes: time
average acoustic power at the source, per cm, in milliwatts. This is the acoustic
power emitted from the central 1–cm length, in the scan direction, of the aperture
corresponding to the scanned pulses.
W
o1x1
For non–scanning modes and/or non–scanning components of
combinational 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 (centimeters).
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 combined 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
(centimeters).
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”.
d
eq
@PII
max
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).
