Output display
The system meets the AIUM (American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine) output
display standard for MI and TI, see
"Related guidance documents" on page 418. The
following table indicates for each transducer and operating mode when either the TI or
MI is greater than or equal to a value of 1.0, thus requiring display.
Transducer Model Index 2D, M-Mode Color
UHF22

TIC, TIB, or TIS
UHF48
MI
TIC, TIB, or TIS
UHF70
MI
TIC, TIB, or TIS
TI or MI ≥ 1.0
Even if MI is less than 1.0, the system provides a continuous real-time display of MI in
all imaging modes, in increments of 0.1.
The system meets the output display standard for TI and provides a continuous real-
time display of TI in all imaging modes, in increments of 0.1.
The TI consists of three user-selectable indices, and only one of these is displayed at
any one time. In order to display TI properly and meet the ALARA principle, the user
selects an appropriate TI based on the specific exam being performed. FUJIFILM
SonoSite provides a copy of AIUM Medical Ultrasound Safety, which contains
guidance on determining which TI is appropriate. See
"Related guidance documents"
on page 418 or "Guidelines for reducing MI and TI" on page 379.
