  • Page 15: Ultrasound And Its Application

    UPM 2000 Ultrasound and Its Applications Human perception of sound waves is limited to frequencies of fewer than 20,000 vibrations per second. Higher frequency vibrations — between 0.7 and 3.3 MHz — are used for ultrasound therapy. (Most ultrasound equipment produces an output of between 1 and 3.3 MHz.)
  • Page 16: Patient Treatment With Therapeutic Ultrasound

    The most essential assurance that the clinician can have is the verification that the ultrasound unit is producing the ultrasound energy for which it was designed. The Netech UPM 2000 digital power meter enables the clinician to accurately measure this output energy.
