FOREWORD
INTRODUCTION
1 Scope
2 Normative references
3 Terms and definitions
4 List of symbols
5 Test methods for determining the mechanical index
  and the thermal index
Annex A (informative) - Rationale and derivation of
        index models
Annex B (informative) - Guidance notes for measurement
        of output power in combined modes,
        scanning modes and in 1 cm x 1 cm windows
Annex C (informative) - The contribution of transducer
        self-heating to the temperature rise
        occurring during ultrasound exposure
Annex D (informative) - Guidance on the interpretation
        of TI and MI
Annex E (informative) - Differences from
        IEC 62359 Edition 1
Annex F (informative) - Rationale and determination
        of maximum non-attenuated and attenuated
        spatial-peak temporal-average intensity and
        spatial-peak pulse-average intensity values
Bibliography
Annex ZA (normative) - Normative references to
         international publications with their
         corresponding European publications

Describes: - parameters related to thermal and non-thermal exposure aspects of diagnostic ultrasonic fields; - methods for the determination of an exposure parameter relating to temperature rise in theoretical tissue-equivalent models, resulting from absorption of ultrasound; and - methods for the determination of an exposure parameter appropriate to certain non-thermal effects.
