Continuous ultrasound refers to an uninterrupted flow of sound waves. Pulsed ultrasound is produced by intermittently interrupting the supply of electrical energy to the sound head, which causes interruptions in the sound waves. Which form of ultrasound has the greatest potential to cause thermal effects?
