Bioeffects Flashcards
Three devices measure the output of ultrasound transducers
Calorimeter , thermocouple, liquid crystal
What measure the total power in a sound beam through process of absorption
Calorimeter
Tiny electric thermometer
Thermocouple
Changes color based on their temp
Liquid crystals
What device measures sound beam at a particular location
Thermocouple
Calorimeter
Device that measures the power of the entire beam
In vivo
Research within the body
In vitro
Research outside the living body
Dosimeters
Science of identifying and measuring the characteristics of an ultrasound beam
Techniques study bio effects
Mechanism and empirical
Mechanistic study of bio effect searches for
relationship between cause and effect
Empirical study of bioeffects searches for
Relationship between exposure and response
Hydrophone is also know as
Microprobe
