Hydrophone Spatial Averaging Correction for Acoustic Exposure Measurements From Arrays-Part I : Theory and Impact on Diagnostic Safety Indexes

This article reports underestimation of mechanical index (MI) and nonscanned thermal index for bone near focus (TIB) due to hydrophone spatial averaging effects that occur during acoustic output measurements for clinical linear and phased arrays. TIB is the appropriate version of thermal index (TI)...
