ACUSON Cypress™ Operator's Manual
Description
Sets the Thermal Index (TI) for the type of tissue
being scanned. The Thermal Index keeps us aware of
conditions that may lead to a temperature rise
whether at the surface, within the tissue, or at the
point where the ultrasound is focusing on the bone.
Each Thermal Index estimates temperature rise under
certain assumptions. (Note that TI is a relative indica-
tor of temperature increase.) For more information
see the document published by the American Institute
of Ultrasound in Medicine entitled Medical Ultrasound
Safety that is included with this manual.
Options: Soft Tissue (s), Bone (b), or Cephalic (c).
There are three Thermal Indices:
Soft Tissue TI (TIs) — for use in Cardiac, first tri-
mester fetal, vascular, and abdominal
Cranial Bone TI (TIc) — for use in Transcranial
(Bone near surface)
Bone TI (TIb) — Second and third trimester fetal
(Bone near focus)
