16、dwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other a
17、ctivities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subj
18、ect dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions det
19、ermined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Comm
20、ittees. 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in whic
21、h they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publicat
22、ion and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication. 6) All users should ensure tha
23、t they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nat
24、ure whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications. 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the reference
25、d publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Internatio

31、ultrasonic equipment. The numerical values for reporting purposes represent the average values for the maximum output conditions for a given discrete- or combined-operating mode and are derived from measurements made in water. Intensity parameters are specified in this standard, but these are regard
32、ed as derived quantities that are meaningful only under certain assumptions related to the ultrasonic field being measured. 6 61157 IEC:2007(E) STANDARD MEANS FOR THE REPORTING OF THE ACOUSTIC OUTPUT OF MEDICAL DIAGNOSTIC ULTRASONIC EQUIPMENT 1 Scope This International Standard is applicable to medi
33、cal diagnostic ultrasonic equipment. It provides a set of traceable acoustic parameters describing the acoustic fields. It defines a standard means and format for the reporting of the acoustic output information. It also describes a reduced dataset recommended for equipment generating low acoustic o
34、utput levels. NOTE The information tabulated in this standard format can be used for a) exposure planning for biological effects studies; b) exposure data for prospective epidemiological studies conducted using exposure conditions similar to those reported in this standard. In the absence of actual
35、exposure data for retrospective epidemiological studies, the information tabulated in this standard format might also be used with cautionary comment. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edit

Figures C.1 to C.4 illustrate some of the d

40、ified position in an acoustic field and displayed over a period sufficiently long to include all significant acoustic information in a single pulse or tone-burst, or in one or more cycles in a continuous wave NOTE 1 Temporal waveform is a representation (e.g. oscilloscope presentation or equation) o
41、f the instantaneous acoustic pressure. NOTE 2 Definition adapted from IEC 60469-1. 3.3 acoustic repetition period arp pulse repetition period for non-automatic scanning systems and the scan repetition period for automatic scanning systems, equal to the time interval between corresponding points of c
42、onsecutive cycles for continuous wave systems NOTE 1 The acoustic repetition period is expressed in seconds (s). IEC 62127-1, definition 3.2 3.4 acoustic frequency acoustic-working frequency frequency of an acoustic signal based on the observation of the output of a hydrophone placed in an acoustic
43、field at the position corresponding to the spatial-peak temporal-peak acoustic pressure NOTE 1 The signal is analysed using either the zero-crossing acoustic-working frequency technique or a spectrum analysis method. Acoustic-working frequencies are defined in 3.4.1 and 3.4.2. NOTE 2 In a number of
44、cases, the present definition is not very helpful or convenient, especially for broadband transducers. In that case, a full description of the frequency spectrum should be given in order to enable any frequency-dependent correction to the signal. NOTE 3 Acoustic frequency is expressed in hertz (Hz).
45、 3.4.1 zero-crossing acoustic-working frequency fawfthis is determined according to the procedure specified in IEC/TR 60854 NOTE This frequency is intended for continuous wave systems only. 3.4.2 arithmetic-mean acoustic-working frequency fawfarithmetic mean of the most widely separated frequencies

49、al-peak acoustic pressure in the whole acoustic field. NOTE 2 In a number of cases, the term pulse-pressure-squared integral is replaced everywhere in the above definition by any linearly related quantity, for example: a) in the case of a continuous wave signal the term pulse-pressure-squared integral is replaced by mean square acoustic pressure as defined in IEC 61689; b) in cases where signal synchronisation with the scanframe is not available the term pulse-pressure-
