title: The measurement of the spatial average temporal average intensity I(sata) and ultrasonic power W in composite ultrasonic transducers for medical application.
abstract: Two possible methods to determine the spatial average temporal average intensity I(sata) and ultrasonic power W in composite ltrasonic transducers for medical application are described. Results showed that integrals using one method will yield accurate results but a vast amount of computational effort is required. On the other hand, using an alternative method these integrals may readily be solved at the expense of the accuracy of the results deduced.
