Acoustic Output This section of the operator’s manual applies to the overall system including the main unit, transducers, accessories and peripherals. This section contains important safety information for operators of the device, pertaining to acoustic output and how to control patient exposure through use of the ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable) principle.
Additional information regarding the concept of ALARA and the possible bioeffects of Ultrasound is available in a document from the AIUM (American Institute of Ultrasound Medicine) title “Medical Ultrasound Safety”. 10.4 Derated Ultrasonic Output Parameters In order to determine the relevant Ultrasonic Output Parameters, a method is used which allows for the comparison of ultrasound systems which operate at different frequencies and are focused at different depths.
10.7 Acoustic Power Setting Adjusting Acoustic Power Acoustic power can be set in the range from 0 to 15, where 0 represents minimum acoustic power and 15 represents maximum acoustic power. Press <Menu> to open the image menu. Move the cursor to [A.power (Value)]. Press <Set> to increase the acoustic power and press <Back>...
Operations Affections on Acoustic Output Changing the operating frequency changes the focal characteristics of Changing frequency the acoustic waves, thus changes the acoustic output power. Changing the number of acoustic lines generated (line density) affects Line density the acoustic output power. Since the system and user presets contain all of the above imaging Preset parameters, changing the preset will change the acoustic output power.
