Table 3.

Summary table of focused ultrasound parameters [104].

Parameter Unit Definition
Frequency MHz, Hz Number of cycles or oscillations per second
Pressure MPa Pressure caused by a sound wave minus the ambient pressure in a medium resulting from the sound wave
Pulse repetition frequency Hz Number of emitted pulses that occur per second
Burst duration ms The length of time designated for repeat pulses at a constant frequency
Total exposure time/total time (TT) s The total amount of time the transducer is emitting ultrasonic energy in an area
