Characterization of Electrical Power Instabilities for High-Intensity Pulsed Therapeutic Ultrasound
Abstract
Therapeutic ultrasound has been the focus of numerous recent investigations. Recent developments, such as histotripsy techniques, have led to greater electrical solicitation of ultrasound setups with high-intensity and short bursts, which can induce potential risks for patients and operators, as well as suboptimal performances. Neither acoustic nor electrical engineering standards are designed for analyzing such signals. Ultrasound setups are usually characterized by voltage-only (VO) and wattmeter power measurements under long-duration (>1 s) and low-power (
