Popis: To investigate if the thermal index for bone (TIB) displayed on screen is an adequate predictor for the derated spatial-peak temporal-average (IWe calibrated five clinical diagnostic ultrasound scanners and 10 transducers, using two-dimensional grayscale, color Doppler and pulsed-wave Doppler, both close to and far from the transducer, with a TIB between 0.1 and 4.0, recording 103 unique measurements. Acoustic measurements were performed in a bespoke three-axis computer-controlled scanning tank, using a 200-μm-diameter calibrated needle hydrophone.There was significant but poor correlation between the acoustic intensities and the on-screen TIB. At a TIB of 0.1, the ITIB is a poor predictor for I
