What characterizes dose oriented ultrasound treatments?

• A. Manual calculations by clinician
• B. Machine does calculations
• C. No calculations needed
• D. Estimation by patient feedback

Answer: (B)

Dose oriented ultrasound relies on the equipment to compute and control the energy delivered, so the prescribed therapeutic dose is achieved automatically. The device uses programmed targets (desired dose, treatment area, frequency) and monitors delivery in real time, adjusting power and duration to reach that dose. This machine-driven calculation ensures consistency and safety across treatments. Manual calculations by the clinician aren’t required for delivering the dose, and there must be some calculation or monitoring involved, not no calculations. Patient feedback alone isn’t used to determine the dose.
