Abstract
Mechanical index (MI) is a measure of acoustic power. It is generally omitted during routine echocardiographic imaging. By adjusting the MI, an echocardiographer can perform various contrast-specific imaging modalities during the same session.

Mekanik indeks, akustik gücün bir göstergesidir. Rutin bir ekokardiyografik görüntüleme sırasında genellikle göz ardı edilir. Mekanik indeksi ayarlayarak, bir eko operatörü aynı seansta birçok kontrast spesifik görüntüleme yöntemlerini uygulayabilir.
