In eye scanning applications, it is recommended that TI is
monitored. TI values should be limited to a maximum of 1.0.
Selecting preset
Selecting the appropriate preset for a particular ultrasound
examination automatically provides acoustic output limits within
FDA guidance for that examination. Other parameters which
optimize performance for the selected examination are also set
automatically and should help reducing the patient exposure
time.
Changing imaging modes
Acoustic output depends on the imaging mode selected. This
greatly affects the energy absorbed by the tissue, as described
in ‘Black/white imaging (B-mode)’ on
