Medical ultrasound

safety index for diagnostic ultrasound that estimates the likelihood of inertial cavitation from peak rarefactional pressure and frequency.

In medical ultrasound, mechanical index refers to safety index for diagnostic ultrasound that estimates the likelihood of inertial cavitation from peak rarefactional pressure and frequency. This meaning comes from Apfel (1991) in Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology.[1]
