Mechanical index (MI) is an ultrasound metric. It is defined as
where
PNP is the peak negative pressure of the ultrasound wave (MPa), derated by 0.3 dB cm−1 MHz−1 to account for the difference between in-water and in-tissue acoustic attenuation, and
Mechanical index can be used as an estimate for the degree of bio-effects a given set of ultrasound parameters will induce. A higher mechanical index means a larger bio-effect. Currently the FDA stipulates that diagnostic ultrasound scanners cannot exceed a mechanical index of 1.9.

Mechanical Index Ultrasound Physics
The mechanical index is an estimate of the maximum amplitude of the pressure pulse in tissue and is an indicator of the likelihood of adverse mechanical (i.e. non-thermal) bio-effects (streaming and cavitation). The mechanical index of the ultrasound beam is the amount of negative acoustic pressure within a ultrasonic field and is used in contrast echocardiography to modulate the output signature of UCAs to incite different microbubble responses.

*Not sure if the question banks are for you?*
If you're here, you're likely studying for a radiology physics exam. I've spent the last few months collating past papers from multiple different countries selecting the most commonly asked questions. You'll be surprised how often questions repeat themselves!
The types of questions asked in FRCR, RANZCR AIT, ARRT, FC Rad Diag (SA), ABR qualifying Core Physics and MICR part 1 are surprisingly similar and the key concepts remain the same throughout. I've taken the most high-yield questions and answered them in video format so that I can take you through why certain answers are correct and others are not.
Happy studying,
Michael
