DD IEC/TS 62306:2006

This standard DD IEC/TS 62306:2006 Ultrasonics. Field characterisation. Test objects for determining temperature elevation in diagnostic ultrasound fields is classified in these ICS categories:

• 17.140.50 Electroacoustics
• 11.040.55 Diagnostic equipment

This Technical Specification is applicable to medical diagnostic ultrasonic fields. This Technical Specification establishes: - the important characteristics and terminology for test objects containing an embedded thermal sensor to determine ultrasonic heating; - requirements for defining particular types of test object for specific applications; - examples of design features which will ensure that the performance specifications are achieved; - validation procedures; - general test methods for using test objects to determine standardised temperature rises.
