IEC 60601-2-37: ultrasonic diagnostic and monitoring equipment

In plain words

What it covers.

The particular standard for diagnostic ultrasound. It requires the output display of the thermal index (TI) and mechanical index (MI), limits on probe surface temperature, and safety of endocavity and transoesophageal probes. Image quality is not set by the standard; it is tracked against a phantom baseline per probe.

A summary written by BMEssentia for learning, not the text of the standard. Always work from the current official edition and the manufacturer's instructions.
