(TIB) The bone thermal index is an exposure model for the case that the ultrasound beam passes through soft tissue and a focal region is in the immediate vicinity of bone. The longitudinal waves of ultrasound are reflected and transformed into transverse waves, creating a heating effect. Muscle and bone absorb more energy at interfaces with other heterogeneous tissues.

(short for ultrasound beam) The sound beam is the confined, directional beam of ultrasound traveling as a longitudinal wave from the transducer face into the propagation medium. The near field and the far field are two separate regions along the beam. Sound beams are either steered mechanically or electrically. Both rapidly sweep sound waves through tissues.
