TIP Principles of Operation of the Diagnostic Ultrasound System
Medical ultrasound images are created when the computer's digital memory
converts 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.
The Control Panel

The system can be controlled by using the control panel.
[Figure 1.4 Control Panel]

ESD
Electrostatic discharge (ESD), commonly referred to as a 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. The static shock, or ESD, is a discharge of the electrical energy
build-up from a charged individual to a lesser or uncharged individual or object. An ESD occurs
when an individual with an electrical energy build-up comes in to contact with conductive objects
such as metal doorknobs, file cabinets, computer equipment, and even other individuals.
■ The level of electrical energy discharged from a system user or patient to

an ultrasound system can be significant enough to cause damage to the
system or probes.
■ Always perform the pre-ESD preventive procedures before using
connectors marked with the ESD warning label.
CAUTION - Apply anti-static spray to carpets or linoleum.

Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio, (cellular/cordless) telephones
and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcasts and TV broadcasts cannot be
predicted with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an
electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength, in the location in
which the Ultrasound System is used, exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the
Ultrasound System should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is
observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the Ultrasound
System or using a shielded location with a higher RF shielding effectiveness and filter attenuation.

3. Malfunction which occurs due to switch of power supply to power cable or connected cable,
electronic control, or natural phenomenon such as lightning.
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.
An Ultrasound System is designed to receive signals at radio frequency and is therefore

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.
Users should consider the following in an attempt to locate the source.
- Is the interference intermittent or constant?
- Does the interference show up only with 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 to determine if the problem resides with the
system or the scanning environment. After you answer the questions, contact your local
Samsung Medison customer service department.

regulations.
ALARA Principle
Performing diagnoses using an ultrasound device is defined by the “As Low As Reasonably
Achievable” (ALARA) principle. The decision as to what is reasonable has been considered and
defined by many people. However, no set of rules can be formulated that would be sufficiently
complete to dictate the correct response for every circumstance. By keeping ultrasound
exposure as low as possible, while obtaining diagnostic images, users can minimize 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 exposure time with diagnostic image quality. To ensure diagnostic image quality and
limit exposure time, the ultrasound system provides controls that can be manipulated during the
exam to optimize the results of the exam.
The user's knowledge of, and the ability to abide by, the ALARA principle is very important.
Advances in diagnostic ultrasound, not only in the technology, but also in the applications of the
technology, have resulted in the need for more and better information to guide the user. This
important information is based on a variety of ultrasound output data, and plays an important
role in putting the ALARA principle into effect.
Numerous variables affect the output data that forms the basis of the provided information.
These variables include mass, body size, location of the bone relative to the focal point,
attenuation in the body, and ultrasound exposure time. Among these, exposure time is the
variable that one must pay the most attention to. For, unlike other variables, exposure time is
entirely controlled by the operator of the ultrasound system.
▌ Applying ALARA
The system-imaging mode used depends upon the information needed. 2D-mode and M-
mode imaging provide anatomical information, while 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, while unscanned modes like M-mode
or Doppler concentrate 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 set-up values, scanning techniques, and operator experience aid the
sonographer in meeting the definition of 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 the potential localized heating of the patient
due to probe surface temperatures. Prudent use of the system occurs 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 necessarily mean that a bioeffect is occurring, it
should still be taken seriously. Every effort should be made to reduce the possible effects of a
high index reading. Limiting exposure time is an effective way to accomplish 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. These controls can be divided into three categories: direct, indirect,
and receiver controls.
▌ Direct Controls
Application selection and the output intensity control directly affect acoustic intensity. There
are different ranges of allowable intensity or output based 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, while
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 a direct impact on acoustic intensity. Once the application has been established,
the output control can be used to increase or decrease the intensity output. The output control
allows you to select intensity levels lower than the defined maximum. Prudent use ensures
good image quality while employing the lowest output intensity.
▌ Indirect Controls
The indirect controls are those that have an indirect effect on the acoustic intensity. These
controls affect the 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 a
scanned mode; Doppler is a stationary or unscanned mode. A stationary ultrasound beam
concentrates energy on a single location. A moving or scanned ultrasound beam disperses
the energy over a wide area and the beam is only concentrated on a given area for a fraction
of the 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. Several controls affect pulse repetition frequency: 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 the
resolution at a different focal zone involves the adjustment of numerous outputs from the focal
zone. This output adjustment is one of the system’s optimization features. 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 the 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 cavitation. Pulse length, burst length, and
pulse duration refer to the output pulse duration in pulsed Doppler mode. In addition,
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 greater output intensity to scan at a deeper depth.
To scan deeper at the same output intensity, a lower probe frequency is required. Using more
gain and output beyond a point, without corresponding increases in image quality, can mean
that a 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 concerning output is that the receiver controls should be
optimized before increasing it. For example; before increasing output, gain should be
optimized to improve image quality.
▌ Additional Considerations
Ensure that scanning time is kept to a minimum, and ensure that only medically required
scanning is performed. Never compromise quality by rushing an exam. A poor exam will
require a 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.
▌ Output Display Features

The system output display comprises two basic indices: a mechanical index and a 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. One of
the indices will be displayed according to the application currently in use, depending on the
system settings or user choice.
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 the three indices, and only one of these is displayed all
the time. Each probe application has an appropriate default selection for the combination.
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 application-specific nature of the default setting is also an important factor of index
behavior. The default setting is the system control state, which 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 the power is turned on,
new patient data is entered into the system database, or a change of application takes place.
The decision as to which of the three thermal indices is displayed is based on the following
criteria:
Appropriate index for the application: TIs is used for imaging soft tissue, and TIb for a focus
at or near a bone. Elements such as fluid, bone, and blood flow may act as artifacts that
increase or decrease the TI. A highly attenuating tissue path, for example, may cause the
potential for local zone heating to be lower than the thermal index displays.
In comparison with the probe mode, 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 ultrasound exposure time. Do not rush the exam. Ensure 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 bioeffects varies with peak pressure and ultrasound frequency.
The MI accounts for these two factors. The higher the MI value, the greater the
likelihood of mechanical bioeffects occurring, but there is no specific MI value that
means that a mechanical effect will definitely occur. The MI should only be used as a
guide for implementing the ALARA principle.
 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 only as a guide for implementing the
ALARA principle.
The bone thermal index (TIb) informs the user about 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 transcranial
application.
You can select the TI to display at Setup > Imaging > Display.
 Mechanical and Thermal indices Display Precision and Accuracy
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 operation manual. These accuracy estimates are based on
the variability ranges of probes and systems, inherent acoustic output modeling errors,
and the measurement variability, as described below.
The displayed values should be interpreted as relative information to help the system
operator achieve 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 is built into the
measurement and calculation process for the vast majority of tissue paths. For example,
the acoustic output values measured underwater are de-rated using a conservative,
industry standard, 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.
Steady state temperature rise is assumed in the industry standard TI models, and the
assumption is made that the ultrasound probe is held steady in one position long
enough for a steady state to be reached.
A number of factors are considered when estimating the accuracy of display values;
hardware variations, algorithm accuracy estimation, measurement variability, and
variability among probes and systems are significant factors. Probe deviation results
from piezoelectric crystal efficiencies, process-related impedance differences, and
sensitive lens focusing parameter variations. Differences in the system pulse voltage
control and efficiencies also contribute to variability. There are inherent uncertainties in
the algorithms used to estimate 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.
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, and 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 the measurement. They are also independent of the
effects of non-linear loss on the measured values.
▌ Control Effect- Controls Affecting the Indices

As various system controls are adjusted, the TI and MI values may change. This will be
most apparent as the Power control is adjusted; however, other system controls will also
affect the on-screen output values.
 Power
The power controls the system’s acoustic output. Two real-time output values are on the
screen: a TI and an MI. They change as the system responds to power adjustments.
In combined modes, such as simultaneous Color, 2D-mode, and pulsed Doppler, the
individual modes each add to the total TI. Each mode is a vital contributor to this total;
the displayed MI will be from the mode with the largest peak pressure.
▌ 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 adjusted down by the software controls to keep the
TI below the system maximum. A decrease in pulse voltage will decrease MI.
 Zoom
Magnifying the image increases frame rate. This will also increase the TI. The number
of focal zones may automatically increase to enhance the resolution. In such
circumstances, the maximum intensity may occur at a different depth, which may
change the MI.
 Persistence
A lower persistence will decrease the TI. Pulse voltage may be automatically increased.
An increase in pulse voltage will increase MI.
 Focal no.
Increasing the number of focal zones may change both the TI and MI by changing the
frame rate or focal depth automatically. Lower frame rates decrease the TI. The MI
displayed will correspond to the focal zone with the largest peak intensity.
 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 transducer.
▌ Color and Power Controls

 Color Sensitivity
Increasing the color sensitivity increases the TI and the time spent to scan 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, and so the TI will increase.
The system may automatically decrease the pulse voltage to stay 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 dominant mode and the TI change will be
small.
 Color Sector Depth
Deeper color sector depth may automatically decrease the color frame rate, or select a
new color focal zone or color pulse length. The TI will change because of the combination
of these effects. Generally, the TI will decrease with the increased color sector depth. The
MI will correspond to the peak intensity of the dominant pulse type, which is a color pulse.
However, if pulsed Doppler is also enabled, then pulsed Doppler will remain the dominant
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 stay below the system maximum. A
decrease in pulse voltage will also decrease the MI.
 Sec Width
A narrower 2D-mode sector width in Color imaging will increase the color frame rate.
The TI will increase. The MI will not change. If pulsed Doppler is also enabled, then
pulsed Doppler will remain as the primary mode and the TI change will be small.
▌ M Mode and Doppler Controls

 Speed
M-mode and Doppler sweep speed adjustments will not affect the MI. When M-mode
sweep speed changes, TI changes.
 Simultaneous and Update Methods
Use of combination modes affects both the TI and MI through the combination of pulse
types. During Simultaneous mode, the TI is an additive 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 the 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 remain below the system maximum. A decrease in pulse
voltage will decrease the MI.
▌ Doppler, CW, M-mode, and Color Imaging Controls
When a new imaging mode is selected, both the TI and the MI will revert to their default settings.
Each mode has a corresponding pulse repetition frequency and 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 the contact area, beam shape,
and center frequency. Settings are reset when you select a probe. Samsung Medison's
factory defaults vary with probe, application and mode. Defaults that are below the FDA
limits have been chosen 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 MI
displayed 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 that are below the
FDA limits have been chosen for intended use.

▌ 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 (Bioeffects 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 possible effects of
ultrasound exposure. Another report, “Bioeffects and Safety of Diagnostic Ultrasound”,
dated January 28, 1993, provides more up-to-date information.
The acoustic output for this system has been measured and calculated in accordance with
the December 1985 “510(K) Guide for Measuring and Reporting Acoustic Output of
Diagnostic Ultrasound Medical Devices”, except for the hydrophone, which meets the
requirements of “Acoustic Output Measurement Standard for Diagnostic Ultrasound
Equipment” (NEMA UD 2-1992).
▌ In Situ, De-rated, and Water Value Intensities

All intensity parameters are measured in water. Since water does not absorb acoustic energy,
these water measurements represent the largest possible value. Biological tissue absorbs
acoustic energy. The true value of the 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 e  ( 0.23alf )

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 de-rating factor of 0.3 is
used for general reporting purposes; therefore, the In Situ value which is commonly reported
uses the formula:
In Situ (derated) = Water e  ( 0.069lf )
Since this value is not the true in situ intensity, the term “de-rated” is used.
The maximum de-rated 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.
▌ Acoustic Output and Measurement

The terms and symbols used in the acoustic output tables are defined in the following paragraphs.
ISPTA.3 The derated spatial-peak temporal-average intensity (milliwatts per square
centimeter).
ISPPA.3 The derated spartial-peak pulse-average intensity (watts per square
centimeter). The value of IPA.3 at the position of global maximum MI (IPA.3@MI)
may be reported instead of ISPPA.3 if the global maximum MI is reported.
MI The Mechanical Index. The value of MI at the position of ISPPA.3,
(MI@ISPPA.3) may be reported instead of MI (global maximum value) if ISPPA.3
is 190W/cm2.
The derated peak rarefactional pressure (megapascals) associated with the transmit pattern
giving rise to the reported Pr.3 MI value.
WO Ultrasonic power(milliwatts). For operating conditions giving rise to ISPTA.3, WO
is the total time-average power. For operating conditions subject to reporting
under ISPPA.3, WO is the Ultrasonic power associated with the transmit pattern
giving rise to the value reported under ISPPA.3.
Fc Center frequency (MHz). For MI and ISPPA.3, Fc is the Center frequency
associated with the transmit pattern giving rise to the global maximum value of
the respective parameter. For ISPTA.3, for combined modes involving beam types
of unequal Center frequency, Fc is defined as the overall ranges of center
frequencies of the respective transmit patterns.
ZSP The axial distance at which the reported parameter is measured (centimeters)
x-6,y-6 These are respectively the in-plane (azimuth) and out-of-plane (elevation) -6
dimensions in the x-y plane where ZSP is found (centimeters).
PD The Pulse duration (microseconds) associated with the transmit pattern giving
rise to the reported value of the respective parameter
PRF The Pulse repetition frequency (Hz) associated with the transmit pattern giving
rise to the reported value of the respective parameter.
EBD The Entrance beam dimensions (centimeters) for the azimuth and elevation
planes.
EDS The Entrance dimensions of the scan (centimeters) for the azimuth and
elevation planes.
▌ Acoustic Measurement Precision and Uncertainty
The Acoustic Measurement Precision and Acoustic Measurement Uncertainty are described below.
Quantity Precision Total Uncertainty
PII.3 (derated pulse intensity integral) 3.2 % +21 % to - 24 %
Wo (acoustic power) 6.2 % +/- 19 %
Pr.3 (derated rarefaction pressure) 5.4 % +/- 15 %
Fc (center frequency) <1% +/- 4.5 %
 Systematic Uncertainties.
For the pulse intensity integral, derated 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 a 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).
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.
The overall findings of the analysis give a rough Acoustic Power accuracy figure of +/- 10% for
the frequency range of 1 - 10 MHz.

Basic Structure of WS80A
Overview
WS80A consists of the Ultrasound System Part and the User Interface Part. However, when
considered as an electronic structure, it consists of a Front End Part, a Back End Part, a User
Interface Part, and a Power Part. A description of WS80A as an electronic structure is as
follows.
Front End Part refers to the PSA (Probe Select Assembly) , BF (Beamformer) and CW(Con
tinuous Wave Board).The main functions of the Front End Part are to deliver High Voltage
Pulser to the probe, thereby generating ultrasonic waves, and to amplify the returning echo
signal to process Digital Beamforming. The RF signal generated here is sent to the Back End
Part.
Back End Part refers to the BE (Back End) of the Ultrasound System Part as well as the PC
Module.
It generates various diagnostic images such as BW, Color Doppler, PW Doppler, Power
Doppler, etc. from the RF signal generated by the BF (Beamformer), and displays the images
on the monitor so that the user can view them. In addition, it incorporates new technologies
such as SCI and SDMR to facilitate a wide variety of diagnostic exams.
User Interface Part means the LCD monitor and control panel (including touch panel).
The Power Part can be divided as AC-DC Power Module and DC-DC Power Module; AC-DC
Power Module converts the AC voltage to the DC voltage to supply power to DC-DC Power
Module and supply power to PC Power of PC Part. DC-DC Power Module supplies the voltage
to the boards of the Ultrasound System Part and PC Power supplies the voltage of PC Part.
Ultrasound System Part
Its major function is to process the ultrasound data prior to the Scan Converter. Also, it
performs some functions of Front End Part and Back End Part. This detects probes and sends
system information and application information in accordance with user environment to each
Board. It performs TX Focusing and RX Focusing based on such information. When high
voltage Pulser is sent to the probe according to TX Focusing, ultrasonic waves are generated;
echo signals returning from the body go through an amplification circuit to undergo Digital
Beamforming processing. The RF signal obtained here goes through various filtering and
processing to generate image signals such as BW, Color Doppler, PW Doppler, CW Doppler,
Power Doppler, etc., which are sent to the PC Module to be implemented on the monitor.
The DC to DC Power Module supplies power to the Ultrasound System Part.
The Ultrasound System Part consists of the following:
• PSA(Probe Select Assembly) Board
• AC(Analog Control)
• BF(Beamformer) Board
• BE(Back End Board)
• DDM (DC to DC Power Module)
• CW (Continuous Wave Board)

PC Part
It consists of the Scan Converter and image output circuits for displaying the ultrasound
information generated by the Ultrasound System Part on the monitor. It also performs control
panel and interface functions.
The ultrasound image information from the Ultrasound System Part is connected to PC Part at
PCIF with DMA method, and the ultrasound image is displayed through the software DSC and
VGA.
Previous type of the ultrasound image scanner uses the Hardware DSC method, but WS80A
uses the Software DSC and the ultrasound images are displayed on a LCD monitor.
PC Power Supply uses Micro ATX as standard, and it supplies power to PC Part.
The PC Part consists of the following:
• PCIE(Peripheral Component Interconnect Express)
• DVI(Digital Video Interface)
• VGA(Video Graphics Array)
• PC Mother Board
• Rear Panel
• PC Power Supply
Chapter 5. Product Structure 5 - 11
User Interface Part
This part allows the user to view ultrasound images on the LCD monitor to make a diagnosis,
and to control WS80A by using the control panel and touch panel.
The images from PC Part are transmitted to the LCD monitor and external devices. The output
images are VHS, S-VHS, Composite, DVI, etc. and the input images available are VHS and S-
VHS. Also, the control panel is made to provide various interfaces for user convenience.
The User Interface Part consists of the following:
• LCD Monitor(LCD Inverter Board, LCD Control Volume)
• AD Board
• Control Panel Board
• Touch Panel
• Track Ball
• Alpha-Numeric Key Board
AC to Power Module
It converts external 110/230V AC voltage to the DC voltage to supply power to DDM (DC to DC
Power Module) of Ultrasound System Part, and it also supplies stabilized AC voltage to PC
Power Supply of PC Part. Power circuit breaker prevents any possible troubles due to
overcurrent.
Ultrasound System Part
PSA
▌ Main Functions
PSA serves as an interface for the System and the Probe.
Probe Connector has 4 of 408-pin Connectors and 1 of LEMO Connector and has the CW
selection relay to support CW.
Also, it has 3D Probe Drive Path, Probe Insert Path, Port Select Path, CW Path, etc. and it has
the Relay circuit to select one probe out of 4 probes.
[Figure 5.3 PSA Block Diagram]
▌ Specification
• Local Power distribution
• LV/HV Power Switching
• 4 Probe Port Support
• Probe Check
• 3D probe path
▌ Operational Principles
 High Voltage Switching Process
WS80A supports 128 Channels and uses up to 192 Element Probes. A separate element
selection is required because Pulser and Receiver circuit of BF (Beamformer Board) have
only 128 channels. Element Selection uses 24 of High Voltage Switches and switching is
carried with the control signals transmitted from the Control Logic (CPLD) of BF
(Beamformer Board). The Control Signal is connected through Mother Board Connector.
The inner structure of the High Voltage Switch consists of Shift Register and High Voltage
FET.
 High Voltage Switching Process
It consists of a circuit to select one probe out of 4 probes. It can use the relay of the latched
type to select a probe chosen by user.
The relay is operated by the probe select signal transmitted from the control logic (CPLD)
of CW (Continuous Wave Board). Probe Select signal is connected through the Mother
Board Connector.
 CW Probe Switching
Steered CW Switching: Steered CW has, separate from the Beam former Board, Tx 29CH
and Rx 29CH and, by using Not latch Relay, it converts the signal line from Phased Array
Probe to the CW Board at Steered CW Mode. Because it has 29CH, there are 15
AGN20012 for CW Tx and there are 15 AGN20012 for CW Rx.
Static CW Switching:Static CW, separate from the Beam Former Board, has Tx 1CH and
Rx 1CH. At Stactic CW Mode, the signal lines from Pencil Probe are connected directly to
the CW Board without Relay.

3D Probe works as the Stepping Motor operates to run 3D Mode. Motor Board controls its feed
o
back with the SIN and COS wave which have a phase of 90 . In this case, 3D Probe gives a
Null Position signalto the Motor Board and the Motor Board sends the One Frame signal, a
standard signal to acquire 3D Image, to the BE Board.
It monitors the voltage of HV Power in the BF Board and sends it to PC.
It provides the ATGC Curve to the BF Board.

Beam Former Board
▌ Main Functions
Beamformer board is located between PSA and Back-end and it sends a ultrasound signal
focused on a specific position of the body and amplifies the received signal to convert it to a
Digital signal. Then it beamforms the signal and relays the Focused data to Back-end for Mid-
processing. BF Board consists of Pulser, TR Switch, LNA, TGC, ADC, and BFIC.
[Figure 5.5 Front End Block Diagram]
• Pulser: consists of 192 channels and it can run 192 element Probes.
• TR Switch: deletes the HV element from Probe to prevent it from flowing to LNA.
• LNA: amplifies the received ultrasound signal and TGC Amp compensates the
attenuation due to Depth to send the signal to ADC.
• ADC: converts the amplified Echo signal to digital data.
• BFIC: Rx focuses the RX echo signals of 128 CH and sends them to BE Part.
• TX FPGA: The generated exciting pulse signal is entered into Pulser, converted to high-
pressured bipolar pulse and sent to Probe.

generating ultrasonic waves.
 Receive Channel
The Receive Channel serves the function of an Analog Digital Converter, which enables
Beamforming by amplifying the echo propagated through, and reflected from, the media
of human body.
It consists of a Limiter, a Pre-Amp, a TGC-Amp, a Low-Pass Filter, and an A/D Converter.
1) Limiter
This removes unnecessary signals from the echo signals returned through the PSA
(Probe Select Assembly)’s High Voltage Switch. Tx Pulse up to 180 Vpp and echo signals
of a few mV are mixed together, but since the RX data actually needed are echo signals
of extremely small magnitude in mV range, the Tx Pulse must be eliminated before they
are sent to the Pre-Amp. The Limiter removes signal over approximately 0.6V before
sending the echo signal to the Pre-Amp.
2) Pre-Amp
  The Pre-Amp amplifies the unprocessed small-magnitude echo signal in mV range.
3) TGC-Amp
  The TGC (Time Gain Compensation) Amp consists of 4 channels per one unit.
It compensates for the time or distance-dependent reduction characteristics of echo

signals that have been propagated through, or reflected from, media
4) Anti-aliasing Filter (Low Pass Filter)
The Low-Pass Filter filters the noise out of Stop Band, which is not the band of ultrasound
signals. It also serves as an anti-aliasing filter, minimizing the aliasing phenomena that
may occur with high frequency probes such as the 7.5MHz probe. Aliasing phenomena of
high-frequency probes are caused by the restriction of the sampling clock in BF ASIC.
5) A/D Converter
This converts an analog signal into a digital signal to be used for Digital Beamforming.
 Digital Beam forming
Ultrasonic waves generated by a probe use a Channel method that utilizes multiple
Elements to perform TX Focusing. Ultrasonic waves generated from each channel are
reflected by media and return as reflected echo signals. However, the echoes do not
return to the Probe Element simultaneously; they return to each Element at different times,
which necessitates a way to compensate for this time difference. It is required to perform
RX Focusing; it is also very important for generating ultrasound images.
Digital Beamforming takes the echo signals entering the Probe Element and samples the
data at the junction of the time axis and the curve, which is then stored in the memory.
When sampling is complete, the data accumulated in the memory have been time-
compensated when they were stored; time compensation is performed by the Sampling
Clock itself. RX Focusing is completed by simply reading the data stored in the memory
and adding them. Since this method requires different Sampling Clocks for each Element,
the VSCG (Variable Sampling Clock Generator) is necessary. The VSCG (Variable
Sampling Clock Generator) uses 61.6Mhz, which is same as the A/D Sampling Clock;
necessary data is generated within BF ASIC (MCB124A).

Part, DMA & RTC Part, and, Analog Sound Part.
DSP Part receives input of RF Data and CW I/Q Data from BF Board and CW Board and
processes it into Image data such as BW Image, PW Doppler, CW Doppler, Color Doppler,
or Power Doppler. These Image Data goes through the process of Frame Average in DMA &
RTC Part of the BE Board and, through PCI BUS, they are relayed to PC Part for the
Software DSC process. Analog Sound Part processes the Doppler Sound Data from DSP
Part with the Digital Analog Converter to amplify and send it to the Speaker.
BE Board consists of ASIC (MCB028A), FPGA, Analog Sound part and more.

• RTC(Real Time Controller)
• PCI-express Interface
• BW Data Processing
• Spectral Doppler Data Processing
• Color Doppler Data Processing
• Motion Data Processing

▌ Operational Principles of DSP Part

 Image Data Processing in BW Mode and M Mode
RF Data generated by the BF Board is entered as FPGA Input.
The entered RF Data is converted into computable RF Data at FPGA Input, and then
entered as the input for ASIC (MCB028A).
ASIC(MCB028A) generates BW mode Image Data (hereinafter, BW Data) and sends it to

FPGA.
ASIC(MCB028A) creates BW Data and processes FSI (Full Spectrum Image), Spatial
Compound Imaging (SCI), Trapezoidal imaging, Synthetic aperture, and more.
To generate BW Data, it receives RF Data input and go through the process of DTGC
(Digital Time Gain Compensation), Decimation, Quadrature mixer, Envelope detection,
Log compression and several filtering.
The BW Date created from ASIC (MCB028A) is entered into FPGA again. It goes through
FSI (Full Spectrum Image) and Lateral filter to remove Multibeam artifact and the final BW
Date is sent to FPGA.
Note that the BW Data can be used as Motion mode Image Data.
 Doppler Image Data Processing
The entered RF Data is converted into computable RF Data at the FPGA, and then
entered as the input for ASIC (MCB028A).
ASIC (MCB028A) receives RF Data input and processes through DTGC (Digital Time
Gain Compensation), Decimation, Quadrature Mixer, etc. to create I/Q data (In-phase &
Quadrature Data). I/Q Data is entered into FPGA again.
I/Q Data is processed at FPGA to generate Doppler Data and it is sent to DMA & RTC
Part. Detailed descriptions are as follows.
FPGA which received I/Q Data filters the data and filters CW I/Q Data from CW Board in
the same way to send the final Doppler Data to PC Part. PW and CW cannot be
processed simultaneously, therefore all operations are controlled by the internal control
process.
I/Q Data go through a Clutter Filter and are sent to a FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) circuit
for generating Doppler Spectrum, which isolates the basic elements of Doppler, i.e. power,
velocity, and variance, to generate Doppler Data. Then it is entered into DSP FPGA again
and sent to the DMA & RTC Part of BE Board.
Filtered I/Q Data from FPGA go through the Clutter filtering to remove the Wall Noise from
Doppler DSP and is processed with Hilbert transform. The direction of sound is removed
to generate Doppler Sound.
 Color Image Data Processing
The entered RF Data is converted into computable RF Data at the ASIC (MCB028A), and
then entered as the input for ASIC (MCB028A).
ASIC (MCB028A) receives RF Data input and processes through DTGC (Digital Time
Gain Compensation), Decimation, Quadrature Mixer, etc. to create I/Q data (In-phase &
Quadrature Data). I/Q Data is entered into FPGA again.
I/Q Data is processed at ASIC (MCB028A) to generate Color Data and it is sent to PC
Part. Detailed descriptions are as follows.
FPGA which received I/Q Data sends it to ASIC (MCB028A) to detect the Color
component. However, the Color component contains the Wall Noise and it go through the
process of Rejection, Smooth Filter, Post filter, etc. after sent to FPGA. In this process,
the Color Data is created and relayed to DMA & RTC Part of BE Board.
▌ Operational Principles of Analog Sound Part
The Analog Sound Part processes Doppler Sound and sends it to the speaker.
Doppler Sound is generated in the Doppler Part, and sent to the Analog Sound Part.
Doppler Sound goes through the Audio Digital Analog Converter process because the
Speaker receives the Analog wave and it requires conversion. Noise is removed and Doppler
Sound is amplified and sent to the Speaker.
▌ Operational principle of DMA & RTC Part (including FPGA

function)
 DMA Part
DMA (Direct Memory Access) consists of FA (Frame Average), DMA and ECG In/Out Part.
FA (Frame Average) processes BW, Doppler, and Color Data with the average value of
Scan line data in the current Frame and previous Frame. And DMA temporarily saves
frame-averaged BW, Doppler, and Color Data and sends the required data to the PC Part
through PCI BUS. Also, it saves ECG Data and sends it in the same way.
Since DMA uses the PC Part and the DMA Path for processing, it plays a very important
role in enhancing the performance of the product.
 RTC Part
RTC (Real Time Controller) creates the standard signal for the entire system operations
in real time to control the system operations. It creates and controls signals for PRF
(Pulse Repeat Frequency), OF (One Frame), RP (Rate Pulse), Linotype, Scan Line, etc.
in DSP Part of the BF Board and BE Board. Also, it controls the internal flow of data at
DMA FPGA.

Probe
A probe is a device that sends and receives ultrasound for acquiring image data. It is also called
a Transducer or a Scanhead.
The system limits patient contact temperature to 43 degrees Celsius, and acoustic output values
to their respective FDA limits. A power protection fuse circuit protects against overcurrent
conditions. If the power-monitoring protection circuit senses an overcurrent condition, the drive
current to the probe is shut off immediately, preventing overheating of the probe surfaces and
limiting acoustic output.
▌ Probe List
The ultrasound image scanner uses probes to obtain graphic data of the human body, and
then displays it on the screen. Always use application-specific probes in order to obtain the
best quality images. It is also important to configure the probe with the best settings for the
particular organ being scanned.

■ The default thermal index may vary by preset.

NOTE ■ You may change the thermal index at Setup > Display > Option > TI
Display.
Ultrasound Transmission Gel

Using an inappropriate ultrasound gel may damage the probe. For proper transmission of the
acoustic beam, only use ultrasound transmission gels approved by Samsung Medison.
■ The use of inappropriate ultrasound gels could result in damages in the

probe. Using damaged probe could cause injuries such as electric shock
in users or patients.
■ Do not use ultrasound gels or contact media that contain the following
contents.
– Oils such as mineral oil, cooking oil, gasoline, solvents, rust inhibitors,
WARNING lanolin, paraffin-based grease, ester and excessive silicon-based
release agent.
– Alcohols such as acetone, methanol, plasticizer (dioctylphtalate) or

denatured alcohols.
– Glacial acetic acid and iodine.
– All types of lotions or gels that contain aromatic substances.
▌ Gel Warmer (Optional)

Gel Warmer maintains the warmth of the gel used for ultrasound diagnosis. It takes 5 minutes to
heat the ultrasound gel.
■ Always turn the Gel Warmer off when it is not in use.

WARNING
■ Do not put your hands inside the Gel Warmer, as it may burn your skin.
■ Do not use the Gel Warmer for purposes other than to control the
temperature of ultrasound gel.
■ Do not place the probe or any other equipment inside the Gel Warmer.
CAUTION ■ Do not touch the power terminal of the Gel warmer while diagnosing the
patient. There is a risk of electric shock from leakage current.
■ Do not apply excessive force to the Gel Warmer, or you may damage its
support parts.
Using Sheaths
Sheaths are recommended for clinical applications of invasive nature, including intraoperative,
transrectal, transvaginal, and biopsy procedures, during which the sheath prevents material from the
human body from contaminating the probe.
Samsung Medison does not supply sheaths, so appropriate sheaths should be purchased
independently.
■ Always keep sheaths in a sterile state.

■ Sheaths are disposable. Do not reuse them.
■ If sheaths are torn or soiled after use, clean and disinfect the probe.
■ In neurosurgical applications, a disinfected probe must be used with
sterile gel and a sterile pyrogen-free sheath.
WARNING ■ If the sterile sheath becomes compromised during neurosurgical
applications involving a patient with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, the probe
cannot be successfully sterilized by any disinfection method.
■ Some sheaths contain natural rubber latex and talc, which may cause
allergic reactions in some individuals. Please refer to the FDA Medical
Alert released on March 29, 1991.
▌ Installing the Sheath

1. Put on sterile gloves. Unpack the sheath and fill it with acoustic coupling gel.
2. Insert the probe into the sheath and pull the latex tip to cover the probe completely. If
possible, cover the probe cable as well.
3. Ensure that there are no air bubbles within the ultrasound gel. If necessary, secure the
sheath to the probe and the probe cable.
4. Dispose of the sheath after use.
.
Probe Precautions
■ Do not apply mechanical shock to the probe.
■ Do not place the probe cable on the floor where the cable can be run over
by equipment wheels, etc. Do not apply excessive force to bend or pull
CAUTION the cable.
■ Do not immerse the probe into any inappropriate substances such as
alcohol, bleach, ammonium chloride, and hydrogen peroxide.
■ Do not expose the probe to temperatures of +50C or higher.
The probe can be easily damaged by improper use or by coming into contact with certain
chemical substances. Always follow the instructions in the operation manual to inspect the
probe cable, case, and lens before and after each use.
Check the probe for cracks, broken parts, leaks and sharp edges. If there is any damage, stop
using the probe immediately and contact the Samsung Medison customer service department.
Using damaged probes may result in electric shocks and other hazards to the patients and/or
users.
▌ Use and Infection Control of the Probe

No neurosurgical treatments or examinations should be carried out on a
patient with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (critical brain disease caused by
WARNING
virus). If the probe has been used on such a patient, it cannot be
sterilized by any method whatsoever.
Sufficient washing and disinfecting must be carried out in order to prevent

infection. This is the responsibility of the user who manages and
CAUTION
maintains the disinfection procedures for the equipment. Always use
legally approved detergents.
The ultrasonographic image scanner uses ultrasound, and it makes direct contact with the
patient when in use. Depending on the types of examinations, such contact can be made to
a wide variety of locations, including the ordinary skin or the location of blood transfusion
during surgery.
The most effective method to prevent infection among patients is to use each probe only once.
However, probes may need to be reused, as they are complex in design and expensive.
Consequently, the safety instructions must be followed carefully in order to minimize the risk
of infection among patients.
▌ Electric Shocks
The probe uses electrical energy. If it touches conductive materials, there are risks of
electric shocks to the patient or the user.
■ Have the system regularly inspected by Samsung Medison

technicians for electric leaks.
■ Do not immerse the probe into liquid.
■ Do not drop the probe or apply mechanical shocks.
■ Inspect the housing, strain relief, lens and seal for damage, and check
for any functional problem before and after each use.
WARNING ■ Do not apply excessive force to twist, pull or bend the probe cable.
■ The power protection fuse protects the probe and the product from
excess current. If the power monitoring protection circuit detects
excess current, it immediately shuts off the current to the probe in
order to prevent the probe surface from overheating and to restrict the
ultrasound power output.
■ The temperature of the product for making contact with patients is

limited under 43°C. The ultrasound power output (AP&I) is in
compliance with US FDA standards.
Cleaning and Disinfecting the Probe

■ Always use protective eyewear and gloves when cleaning and
disinfecting probes.
WARNING ■ Inspect the housing, strain relief, lens and seal for damage, and
check for any functional problem after cleaning and disinfecting the
probe.
Using an inappropriate cleaning or sterilizing agent may damage the probe.
Only use the disinfect and disinfectants approved by the country’s

The probe must be cleaned after each use.
■ Do not use a surgical brush to clean probes. Even the use of soft brushes
can damage the probe.
CAUTION
■ During cleaning and disinfection, keep the parts of the probe that must
remain dry higher than the other parts during wetting until all parts are dry.
1. Disconnect the probe from the system.
2. Remove any biopsy adapters or needle guides. (Adapter may be reused after
disinfection.)
3. Remove the sheath. (Sheaths are disposable.)
4. Use a soft cloth, lightly dampened with mild soap or compatible cleaning solution, to
remove any particulate matter and bodily fluids that remain on the probe or cable.
5. To remove remaining contaminants, rinse with water up to the immersion point.
6. Wipe with a dry cloth.
7. If necessary, wipe first with a water-dampened cloth to remove soap residue, and wipe
with a dry cloth again.
▌ Disinfecting
Disinfect the probe using a disinfectant solution recommended by Samsung Medison to
reduce pathogens to the level of 10-6.
■ If a pre-mixed solution is used, be sure to observe the solution expiration

date.
WARNING ■ The type of tissue it will contact during use dictates the level of
disinfection required for a probe. Ensure that the solution strength and
duration of contact are appropriate for disinfection.
■ Using a non-recommended disinfectant or not following the

recommended disinfection method can damage and/or discolor the probe
and will void the probe warranty.
CAUTION ■ Do not immerse probes for longer than one hour, unless they are
sterilizable.
■ Only use liquid solutions to sterilize probes. Do not sterilize the probe
using autoclave or EtO gas.
1. Please refer to the user instructions of the disinfectant for details of proper storage, use,
and disposal of the disinfectant.
