is the peak rare factional pressure at the point where the free-field, spatial peak pulse
intensity integral is a maximum (megapascals). (See section 6 of the Standard for
Real-Time Display of Thermal and Mechanical Indices on Diagnostic Ultrasound
Equipment, entitled "Measurement Methodology for Mechanical and Thermal
Indices", § 6.2.6.1.)
