■ Meaning of MI/TI Mechanical bioeffects are threshold phenomena that occur when a certain level of output is exceeded. The threshold level varies with tissue type. The potential mechanical bioeffects varies with peak pressure and ultrasound frequency. The higher the MI value, the greater the likelihood of mechanical bioeffects occurring.
● Whether the display accuracy depends on specific system combination, mode combination, scanner component and launch mode combination, or all of above ● Algorithm accuracy of the system software used to calculate the MI/TI ● Approximation engineering method used in real time computation 5.2.3.2 Differences between Actual and Displayed MI and TI For many assumptions used in the process of measurement and calculation, actually they are conservative.
