TIP

Principles of Operation of the Diagnostic Ultrasound System

Medical ultrasound images are created by digital memory and computer when they convert
the high-frequency wave signals that are transmitted and received by the probe.

As ultrasound waves propagate through the human body, they generate reflected signals
whenever they encounter a change in density. For example, reflected signals are generated
when signals pass from fatty tissues to muscle tissues. Reflected signals return to the probe,
where they are converted into electronic signals. The reflected signals are amplified and
processed by analog and digital circuits that have filters for various frequencies and response
time options. Then they are again converted into high-frequency electronic signals, and
saved as a series of digital image signals. The monitor displays the image signals stored on
the storage device in real time. The entire process of transmitting, receiving, and processing
signals is controlled by the computer.

1.2.2. Control Panel

The system can be controlled by using the control panel.

Chapter 1. Introduction 1 - 9

[Figure 1.4 Control Panel]

The control panel consists of a keyboard, soft menus, buttons, dials, dial-buttons, a slider, and a
trackball.

The dial-button can be used both as a dial and a button.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD), commonly referred to as static shock, is a naturally occurring
phenomenon. ESD is most prevalent during conditions of low humidity, which can be caused by
heating or air conditioning. Static shock, or ESD, is a discharge of the electrical energy buildup
from a charged individual to a lesser or an uncharged individual or object. ESD occurs when an
individual with electrical energy build-up comes in contact with conductive objects such as metal
doorknobs, filing cabinets, computer equipment, and even other individuals.

CAUTION

The level of electrical energy discharged from a system user or a patient to an

ultrasound system can be significant enough to cause damage to the system or
probes.

2 - 16 HS50/HS60 Service Manual

A medical device can either generate or receive electromagnetic interference. The EMC
standards describe tests for both emitted and received interference.

Samsung Medison’s ultrasound systems do not generate electromagnetic interference in excess
of the referenced standards.

The Ultrasound System is designed to receive signals at radio frequency; therefore, it is
susceptible to interference generated by RF energy sources. Examples of other sources of
interference are medical devices, information technology products, and radio and television
transmission towers. Tracing the source of radiated interference can be a difficult task.
Customers should consider the following in an attempt to locate the source:

• Is the interference intermittent or constant?

• Does the interference show up with only one probe operating at the same frequency or with

several probes?

• Do two different probes operating at the same frequency have the same problem?

• Is the interference present if the system is moved to a different location in the facility?

The answers to these questions will help determine if the problem lies with the system or the
scanning environment. Answer each of the questions and contact Samsung Medison's customer
service department.

2.5. Biological Safety

For safety information on the probe and biopsy, refer to ‘Chapter 9. Probes.’

Ultrasound waves may have damaging effects on cells and consequently harm the

patient. If there is no medical benefit, minimize the exposure time and maintain the
ultrasound wave output at low levels. Refer to the ALARA principle.

Do not use the system if an error message appears on the video display indicating

that a hazardous condition exists. Take note of the error code, turn off power to the
system, and call Samsung Medison's customer service department.

Do not use a system that exhibits erratic or inconsistent functioning. Discontinuities in

the scanning sequence are indicative of a hardware failure that should be corrected
before use.

The system limits the maximum contact temperature to 43 degrees Celsius; the

ultrasonic wave output observes the American FDA regulations.

2.5.1. ALARA Principle

Guidance for the use of diagnostic ultrasound is defined by the '(As Low As Reasonably
Achievable)' (ALARA) principle. The decision as to what is reasonable has been left to the

judgment and insight of qualified personnel. No set of rules that would be sufficiently complete
to dictate the correct response to every circumstance can be formulated. By keeping ultrasound
exposure as low as possible while obtaining diagnostic images, users can minimize the
ultrasonic bioeffects.

Since the threshold for diagnostic ultrasound bioeffects is undetermined, it is the sonographer’s
responsibility to control the total energy transmitted into the patient. The sonographer must
reconcile the exposure time with the diagnostic image quality. To ensure diagnostic image
quality and limit the exposure time, the Ultrasound System provides controls that can be
manipulated during the exam to optimize the results.

The ability of the user to abide by the ALARA principle is important. Advances in diagnostic
ultrasound, not only in the technology but also in its applications, have given rise to the need for
increased and improved information to guide the user. Based on a variety of ultrasound output
data, the output indices are designed to provide important information for executing the ALARA
principle.

There are a number of variables that affect the way in which the output display indices can be
used to implement the ALARA principle. These variables include mass, body size, location of
the bone relative to the focal point, attenuation in the body, and ultrasound exposure time.
Exposure time is an especially useful variable, because the user controls it. Unlike other
variables, exposure time is entirely controlled by the operator of the ultrasound system.

Chapter 2. Safety 2 - 21

2.5.1.1. Applying ALARA

The system-imaging mode used depends on the information needed. 2D-mode and M-mode
imaging provide anatomical information, whereas Doppler, Power, and Color imaging provide
information about blood flow. Scanned modes, like 2D-mode, Power, or Color, disperse or
scatter the ultrasonic energy over an area, whereas an unscanned mode like M-mode or
Doppler concentrates ultrasonic energy. Understanding the nature of the imaging mode being
used allows the sonographer to apply the ALARA principle with informed judgment. The probe
frequency, system setup values, scanning techniques, and operator experience aid the
sonographer in adhering to the ALARA principle. The decision as to the amount of acoustic
output is, in the final analysis, up to the system operator. This decision must be based on the
following factors: type of patient, type of exam, patient history, ease or difficulty of obtaining
diagnostically useful information, and potential localized heating of the patient due to probe
surface temperatures. Prudent use of the system is secured when patient exposure is limited to
the lowest index reading for the shortest amount of time necessary to achieve acceptable
diagnostic results.

Although a high index reading does not mean that a biological effect is actually occurring, it
should be taken seriously. Every effort should be made to reduce the possible effects of a high
index reading. Limiting the exposure time is an effective way of accomplishing this goal.

There are several system controls that the operator can use to adjust the image quality and limit
the acoustic intensity. These controls are related to the techniques that an operator might use to
implement ALARA and can be divided into three categories: direct, indirect, and receiver control.

2.5.1.2. Direct Controls

Application selection and output intensity control directly affect acoustic intensity. There are
different ranges of allowable intensity or output depending on your selection. Selecting the
correct range of acoustic intensity for the application is one of the priorities required during any
exam. For example, peripheral vascular intensity levels are not recommended for fetal exams.
Some systems automatically select the proper range for a particular procedure, whereas others
require manual selection. Ultimately, the user bears the responsibility for proper clinical use.
Samsung Medison's systems provide both automatic and user-definable settings.

Output has direct impact on acoustic intensity. Once the application has been established,
output control can be used to increase or decrease the output intensity. Output control lets you
select intensity levels that are lower than the defined maximum. Prudent use ensures good
image quality while employing the lowest output intensity.

2 - 22 HS50/HS60 Service Manual

2.5.1.3. Indirect Controls

Indirect controls are those with an indirect effect on acoustic intensity. These controls affect
imaging mode, pulse repetition frequency, focus depth, pulse length, and probe selection.

The choice of imaging mode determines the nature of the ultrasound beam. 2D-mode is
scanned mode; Doppler is stationary or unscanned mode. A stationary ultrasound beam
concentrates energy on a single location. Moving or scanned ultrasound beam disperses the
energy over a wide area, with the beam concentrated only on a given area for a fraction of time
necessary in unscanned mode.

The pulse repetition frequency or rate refers to the number of ultrasound bursts of energy over a
specific period of time. The higher the pulse repetition frequency, the more pulses of energy in a
given period of time. Pulse repetition frequency is affected by several controls such as focal
depth, display depth, sample volume depth, color sensitivity, number of focal zones, and sector
width controls.

The focus of the ultrasound beam affects the image resolution. Maintaining or increasing
resolution at a different focus requires a variation of output over the focal zone. This variation of
output is a function of system optimization. Different exams require different focal depths.
Setting the focus to the proper depth improves the resolution of the structure of interest.

Pulse length is the time during which ultrasonic burst is turned on. The longer the pulse, the
greater the time-average intensity value. The greater the time-average intensity, the greater the
likelihood of temperature increase and cavitations. Pulse length, burst length, or pulse duration
is the output pulse duration in pulsed Doppler. Increasing the Doppler sample volume increases
the pulse length.

Probe selection affects intensity indirectly. Tissue attenuation changes with frequency. The
higher the probe operating frequency, the greater the attenuation of the ultrasonic energy.
Higher probe operating frequencies require higher output intensity to scan at an increased
depth. To scan deeper at the same output intensity, lower probe frequency is required. Using
more gain and output beyond a point without corresponding increases in image quality can
mean that lower frequency probe is needed.

■ Receiver Controls

Receiver controls are used by the operator to improve image quality. These controls have no
effect on output. Receiver controls only affect how the ultrasound echo is received. These
controls include gain, TGC, dynamic range, and image processing. The important thing to
remember, relative to output, is that receiver controls should be optimized before increasing
output. For example; before increasing output, optimize gain to improve image quality.

Chapter 2. Safety 2 - 23

2.5.1.4. Additional Considerations

Ensure that scanning time is kept to a minimum, and that only medically required scanning is
performed. Never compromise quality by rushing an exam. A poor exam will require follow-up,
which ultimately increases the scanning time. Diagnostic ultrasound is an important tool in
medicine and, like any tool, should be used efficiently and effectively.

2.5.1.5. Output Display Features

The system output display consists of two basic indices: mechanical index and thermal index.
The thermal index consists of the following indices: soft tissue (TIs), bone (TIb), and cranial
bone (TIc). One of these three thermal indices will be displayed at all times. Which one is
determined by the system preset or user choice, depending on the application at hand.

The mechanical index is continuously displayed over the range of 0.0 to 1.9, in increments of

0.1. The thermal index consists of three indices, and only one of these is displayed at all times.

Each diagnostic probe application has a default selection. The TIb or TIs is continuously
displayed over the range of 0.0 to maximum output, based on the probe and application, in
increments of 0.1.

The default setting of the application-specific nature is also an important factor of index
selection. A default setting is a system control state that is preset by the manufacturer or the
operator. The system has default index settings for the probe application. The default settings
are applied automatically by the ultrasound system when power is turned on, new patient data is
entered into the system database, or change of application occurs.

The decision as to which of the three thermal indices to display should be based on the
following criteria:

Appropriate index for the application: TIs is used for imaging soft tissue, and TIb, for focus at or
near a bone. Elements such as fluid, bone, and blood flow may act as elements that increase or
decrease TI. A highly attenuating tissue path, for example, may cause the potential for local
zone heating to be lower than the thermal index displays.

The selection of scanned modes or unscanned modes of operation also affects the thermal
index. For scanned modes, heating tends to be near the surface; for unscanned modes, the
potential for heating tends to be deeper in the focal zone.

Always limit the ultrasound exposure time. Do not rush the exam. Make sure that the indices are
kept to a minimum, and that exposure time is limited without compromising diagnostic sensitivity.

■ Mechanical Index (MI) Display

Mechanical bioeffects are threshold phenomena that occur when a certain level of output is
exceeded. The threshold level varies, however, with the type of tissue. The potential for
mechanical biological effects varies with peak pressure and ultrasound frequency. MI
accounts for these two factors. The higher the MI value, the greater the likelihood of
mechanical bioeffects occurring. Note, however, that there is no specific MI value that means
that a mechanical effect will actually occur. The MI should be used as a guide for
implementing the ALARA principle.

2 - 24 HS50/HS60 Service Manual

■ Thermal Index (TI) Display

The TI informs the user of the potential for temperature increase occurring at the body
surface, within body tissue, or at the point of focus of the ultrasound beam on bone. The TI is
an estimate of the temperature increase in specific body tissues. The actual amount of any
temperature rise is influenced by factors such as tissue type, vascularity, and mode of
operation. The TI should be used as a guide for implementing the ALARA principle.

The bone thermal index (TIb) informs the user of potential heating at or near the focus after
the ultrasound beam has passed through soft tissue or fluid, such as the skeletal structure of
a 2-3-month-old fetus. The cranial bone thermal index (TIc) informs the user about the
potential heating of bone at or near the surface -- for example, the cranial bone. The soft
tissue thermal index (TIs) informs the user about the potential for heating within soft
homogeneous tissue. TIc is displayed when you select a trans-cranial application.

Go to Setup > Imaging > Application/Preset > Thermal Index Type to select TI for display.

■ Precision and Accuracy of Mechanical and Thermal Indices Displays

The Mechanical and Thermal Indices on the system are precise to 0.1 units.

The MI and TI display accuracy estimates for the system are given in the Acoustic Output
Tables section of this manual. These accuracy estimates are based on the variability range
of probes and systems, inherent acoustic output modeling errors, and measurement
variability as described below.

The displayed values should be interpreted as relative information to help the system
operator adhere to the ALARA principle through prudent use of the system. The values
should not be interpreted as actual physical values of investigated tissue or organs. The
initial data that is used to support the output display is derived from laboratory
measurements based on the AIUM measurement standard. The measurements are then put
into algorithms to calculate the displayed output values.

Many of the assumptions used in the process of measurement and calculation are
conservative in nature. Over-estimation of actual in situ exposure, for the vast majority of
tissue paths, is built into the measurement and calculation process. For example, the
acoustic output values measured underwater are de-rated using a conservative, industry­standard, attenuation coefficient of 0.3dB/cm-MHz.

Conservative values for tissue characteristics were selected for use in the TI models.
Conservative values for tissue or bone absorption rates, blood perfusion rates, blood heat
capacity, and tissue thermal conductivity were selected.

A ste ad y-state temperature rise is assumed in the industry-standard TI models, and the
ultrasound probe is assumed to be held steadily in one position long enough for a steady
state to be reached.

A number of factors that are considered when estimating the accuracy of display values
include hardware variations, algorithm accuracy estimation, and measurement variability.
Deviation among probes and systems in particular is an important factor. Probe deviation
results from piezoelectric crystal efficiencies, process-related impedance differences, and
sensitive lens focusing on parameter variations. Differences in system pulse voltage control
and efficiencies are also a contributor to variability. There are inherent uncertainties in the
algorithms used for estimating acoustic output values over the range of possible system
operating conditions and pulse voltages. Inaccuracies in laboratory measurements are
related to differences in hydrophone calibration and performance, positioning, alignment and
digitization tolerances, and variability among test operators.

Chapter 2. Safety 2 - 25

The conservative assumptions of the output estimation algorithms of linear propagation, at
all depths, through a 0.3dB/cm-MHz attenuated medium are not taken into account in the
calculation of the accuracy estimate displayed. Neither linear propagation nor uniform
attenuation at the 0.3dB/cm-MHz rate occurs in underwater measurements or in most tissue
paths in the body. In the body, different tissues and organs have dissimilar attenuation
characteristics. In water, there is almost no attenuation. In the body, particularly in
underwater measurements, non-linear propagation and saturation losses occur as pulse
voltages increase.

The display accuracy estimates take into account the variability ranges of probes and
systems, inherent acoustic output modeling errors, and measurement variability. Display
accuracy estimates are measured according to AIUM measurement standards but not based
on errors caused during measurement or inherent errors. They are also independent of the
effects of non-linear loss on the measured values.

2.5.1.6. Control Effect- Controls Affecting the Indices

Since various system controls are adjusted, the TI and MI values may change. This will be most
apparent as the Power control is adjusted; note, however, that other system controls will also
affect the on-screen output values.

■ Power

Power controls the system’s acoustic output. Two real-time output values are on the screen:
TI and MI. They change as the system responds to POWER adjustments.

In combined modes, such as simultaneous Color, 2D-mode, and pulsed Doppler, the total TI
is the sum of TIs of the individual modes. Each mode will be a dominant contributor to this
total; the displayed MI will be from the mode with the largest peak pressure.

2.5.1.7. 2D Mode Controls

■ 2D Mode Size

Narrowing the sector angle may increase the frame rate. This will increase the TI. The pulse
voltage may be automatically lowered by the software controls to keep the TI below the
system maximum. A decrease in pulse voltage will decrease the MI.

■ Zoom

Increasing the zoom magnification may increase the frame rate. This will increase the TI.
The number of focal zones may also increase automatically to improve the resolution. This
action may change the MI, since the peak intensity can occur at a different depth.

■ Number of Focal Zones

Increasing the number of focal zones may change both TI and MI by changing the frame rate
or focal depth automatically. Lower frame rates decrease the TI. The displayed MI will
correspond to the focal zone with the largest peak intensity.

2 - 26 HS50/HS60 Service Manual

■ Focus

Changing the focal depth will change the MI. Generally, higher MI values will occur when the
focal depth is near the natural focus of the probe (transducer).

2.5.1.8. Color and Power Controls

■ Color Sensitivity

Increasing the color sensitivity increases the TI and the time spent on scanning color images.
Color pulses are the dominant pulse type in this mode.

■ Color Sector Width

Narrower color sector width will increase the color frame rate; the TI will also increase. The
system may automatically decrease the pulse voltage to below the system maximum. A
decrease in pulse voltage will decrease the MI. If pulsed Doppler is also enabled, then
pulsed Doppler will remain the primary mode, and the TI change will be small.

■ Color Sector Depth

Deeper color sector depth may automatically decrease the color frame rate or change the
color focal zone or color pulse length. The TI will change due to the combination of these
effects. Generally, the TI will decrease with increased color sector depth. The MI will
correspond to the peak intensity of the dominant pulse type, which is a color pulse. If pulsed
Doppler is also enabled, however, then pulsed Doppler will remain the primary mode, and
the TI change will be small.

■ Scale

Using the SCALE control to increase the color velocity range may increase the TI. The
system will automatically adjust the pulse voltage to below the system maximum. A decrease
in pulse voltage will also decrease the MI.

■ 2D Mode Size

A narrower 2D-mode sector width in Color imaging will increase the color frame rate. The TI
will increase, but the MI will not change. If pulsed Doppler is also enabled, then pulsed
Doppler will remain the primary mode, and the TI change will be small.

Chapter 2. Safety 2 - 27

2.5.1.9. M Mode and Doppler Controls

■ Simultaneous and Update Methods

Use of combination modes affects both TI and MI through the combination of pulse types.
During Simultaneous mode, the TI is an ancillary element. During Auto-update and Duplex,
the TI will display the dominant pulse type. The displayed MI will be from the mode with the
largest peak pressure.

■ Sample Volume Depth

When Doppler sample volume depth is increased, the Doppler PRF may automatically
decrease. A decrease in PRF will decrease the TI. The system may also decrease the pulse
voltage to below the system maximum. A decrease in pulse voltage will decrease the MI.

2.5.1.10. Others

■ 2D, Color, M-Mode, PW, and CW Modes

When a new imaging mode is selected, both TI and MI will change to default settings. Each
mode has a corresponding pulse repetition frequency and a maximum intensity point. In
combined or simultaneous modes, the TI is the sum of the contribution from the modes
enabled, and the MI is the value for the focal zone of the mode with the largest de-rated
intensity. If a mode is turned off and then reselected, the system will return to the previously
selected settings.

■ Probes

Each probe model available has unique specifications for contact area, beam shape, and
center frequency. Settings are initialized when you select a probe. Samsung Medison's
factory defaults vary according to the probe, application, and mode. Defaults have been
chosen below the FDA limits for intended use.

■ Depth

An increase in the 2D-mode depth will automatically decrease the 2D-mode frame rate. This
would decrease the TI. The system may also automatically choose a deeper 2D-mode focal
depth. A change of focal depth may change the MI. The displayed MI is that of the zone with
the largest peak intensity.

■ Application

Acoustic output defaults are set when you select an application. Samsung Medison's factory
defaults vary with probe, application, and mode. Defaults have been chosen below the FDA
limits for intended use.

2.5.1.12. Acoustic Output and Measurement

Since the first use of diagnostic ultrasound, the possible human biological effects (bioeffects) of
ultrasound exposure have been studied by various scientific and medical institutions. In October
1987, the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) ratified a report prepared by its
Bioeffects Committee (Bioeffect Considerations for the Safety of Diagnostic Ultrasound, J.
Ultrasound Med., Sept. 1988: Vol.7, No. 9 Supplement), sometimes referred to as the Stowe
Report, which reviewed available data on the possible effects of ultrasound exposure. Another
report, “Bioeffects and Safety of Diagnostic Ultrasound” dated January 28, 1993, provides more
up-to-date information. In addition, periodically updated reports on biological effects, results,
and guidelines on safe use have been published by groups such as WFUMB (World Federation
of Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology), AIUM, and BMUS.

The Acoustic output for this system has been measured and calculated in accordance with the
Standard for Real-Time Display of Thermal and Mechanical Acoustic Output Indices on
Diagnostic Ultrasound Equipment (AIUM / NEMA, 2004) and the Acoustic Output Measurement
Standard for Diagnostic Ultrasound Equipment (AIUM / NEMA, 2004)

these water measurements represent the largest possible value. Biological tissue absorbs
acoustic energy. The true value of intensity at any point depends on the amount and type of
tissue and the frequency of the ultrasound that passes through the tissue. The intensity value
in the tissue In Situ has been estimated using the following formula:

In Situ = Water [ ]

where: In Situ = In Situ Intensity Value

Water = Water Value Intensity

e = 2.7183

a = Attenuation Factor

Tissue a(dB/cm-MHz)

Brain .53

Heart .66

Kidney .79

Liver .43

Muscle .55

l = skin line to measurement depth (cm)

f = Center frequency of the transducer/system/mode combination (MHz)

Since the ultrasonic path during an examination is likely to pass through varying lengths and
types of tissue, it is difficult to estimate the true in situ intensity. A 0.3 de-rating factor is used for
general reporting purposes. Therefore, the in situ value is commonly reported using the
following formula:

In Situ (derated) = Water [ ]

2 - 30 HS50/HS60 Service Manual

Since this value is not the true in situ intensity, the term “de-rated” is used. The maximum de­rated and maximum water values do not always occur under the same operating conditions.
Therefore, the reported maximum water and de-rated values may not be related to the In Situ
(de-rated) formula. For example, a multi-zone array transducer has the greatest water value
intensities in its deepest zone. The same transducer may have its largest de-rated intensity in
one of its shallowest focal zones.

■ Systematic Uncertainties

For the pulse intensity integral, de-rated rarefaction pressure (Pr.3), center frequency, and
pulse duration, the analysis includes considerations of the effects on accuracy of:

Hydrophone calibration drift or errors.

Hydrophone / Amp frequency response.

Spatial averaging.

Alignment errors.

Voltage measurement accuracy, including.

– Oscilloscope vertical accuracy.

– Oscilloscope offset accuracy.

– Oscilloscope clock accuracy.

– Oscilloscope Digitization rates.

– Noise.

The acoustic power is measured using a Radiation Force for systematic uncertainties
through the use of calibrated NIST acoustic power sources.

We also refer to a September 1993 analysis conducted by the working group of the IEC
technical committee 87 and prepared by K. Beissner as the first supplement to IEC
publication 1161.

The document includes analysis and discussion of the sources of error/measurement effects
due to:

– Balance system calibration.

– Absorbing (or reflecting) target suspension mechanisms.

– Linearity of the balance system.

– Extrapolation to the moment of switching the ultrasonic transducer (compensation for

ringing and thermal drift).

Chapter 2. Safety 2 - 33

– Target imperfections.

– Absorbing (reflecting ) target geometry and finite target size.

– Target misalignment.

– Ultrasonic transducer misalignment.

– Water temperature.

– Ultrasonic attenuation and acoustic streaming.

– Coupling or shielding foil properties.

– Plane-wave assumption.

– Environmental influences.

– Excitation voltage measurement.

– Ultrasonic transducer temperature.

– Effects due to nonlinear propagation and saturation loss.
