Project
IEC 61973, Ed. 1: Ultrasonics - Field characterization - Test methods for the determination of exposure parameters for the safety classification of medical diagnostic ultrasonic fields
Abstract
This Draft Standard is applicable to medical diagnostic ultrasound fields in the frequency range 1 MHz to 15 MHz. It establishes methods for the determination of an exposure parameter relating to temperature rise in theoretical tissue-equivalent models, resulting from absorption, and an exposure parameter appropriate to certain non-thermal effects. These parameters establish the safety classification of medical diagnostic ultrasonic fields.
