Popis: The purpose of this first chapter is to consider the relevance of acoustic output information to the clinical user. As obstetric examination is one of the most common uses of diagnostic ultrasound and one in which safety is of great importance, obstetric examination has been chosen as the main example to address the issue. In fact, many of the concepts presented here can be applied to other clinical applications of ultrasound such as physiotherapy and lithotripsy.
