17
Q

If TP = TA What kind of ultrasound is it?

A

Peak Intensity = Average Intensity

18
Q

What is another type of intensity measurement?

A

Im: Average intensity measured at the most intense half-cycle.

19
Q

What is the final type of intensity measurement?

A

PA - Pulse average

The average intensity for the duration of the pulse itself.

20

23
Q

What do all of the letters mean in reference to intensity?

A

They are different ways of measuring energy.

Over space and time.

24
Q

What is BUC?

A

Beam uniformity coefficient.

It suggests the level of uniformity across the area.

25
Q

BUC =

A

BUC = SP / SA

26
Q

What is considered a good BUC measurement?

A

1.00

Suggests uniformity across the beam area.

27
Q

What makes a less uniform beam intensity?

A

A higher BUC

28
Q

What is Dosimetry?

A

The study of effects of exposure of body signals used in diagnostic testing, such as ultrasound, X-ray , MRI, etc.

AKA Bioeffects

29
Q

What are the two bioeffects of ultrasound?

A

Cavitation and Heat
