520 |a Frequency-dependent effective sensitive element radius [Formula: see text] is a key parameter for elucidating physical mechanisms of hydrophone operation. In addition, it is essential to know [Formula: see text] to correct for hydrophone output voltage reduction due to spatial averaging across the hydrophone sensitive element surface. At low frequencies, [Formula: see text] is greater than geometrical sensitive element radius ag . Consequently, at low frequencies, investigators can overrate their hydrophone spatial resolution. Empirical models for [Formula: see text] for membrane, needle, and fiber-optic hydrophones have been obtained previously. In this article, an empirical model for [Formula: see text] for capsule hydrophones is presented, so that models are now available for the four most common hydrophone types used in biomedical ultrasound. The [Formula: see text] value was estimated from directivity measurements (over the range from 1 to 20 MHz) for five capsule hydrophones (three with [Formula: see text] and two with [Formula: see text]). The results suggest that capsule hydrophones behave according to a "rigid piston" model for k a g ≥ 0.7 ( k = 2π /wavelength). Comparing the four hydrophone types, the low-frequency discrepancy between [Formula: see text] and ag was found to be greatest for membrane hydrophones, followed by capsule hydrophones, and smallest for needle and fiber-optic hydrophones. Empirical models for [Formula: see text] are helpful for choosing an appropriate hydrophone for an experiment and for correcting for spatial averaging (over the sensitive element surface) in pressure and beamwidth measurements. When reporting hydrophone-based pressure measurements, investigators should specify [Formula: see text] at the center frequency (which may be estimated from the models presented here) in addition to ag
