3.4.1. Ultrasound field distributions

The ultrasound field distribution was characterised by performing hydrophone measurements with
a Sonalleve system at the nominal focus with 20W acoustic power. Hydrophone needle was moved
in order to measure pressures in both coronal and axial planes. Y-axis is parallel to the beam axis.
Typical values for the dimensions of the focal spot are shown in the table below. Typical temporal-
average intensities are shown in figures below.
