Diagnostic ultrasound is the gold standard for obstetric scanning and one of the most important imaging techniques for perinatal and neonatal monitoring and diagnosis. Ultrasound provides detailed real-time anatomic information, including blood flow measurements and tissue elasticity. The latter is provided through various techniques including shear wave elastography (SWE). SWE is increasingly used in many areas of medicine, especially in detection and diagnosis of breast, thyroid and prostate cancers and liver disease. More recently, SWE has found application in gynaecology and obstetrics. This method mimics manual palpation, revealing the elastic properties of soft biological tissues. Despite its rising potential and expanding clinical interest in its use in obstetrics and gynaecology (such as for assessment of cervical ripening or organ development and structure during pregnancy), its effects on and potential risks to the developing fetus remain unknown. Risks should be evaluated by regulatory bodies before recommendations are made on the use of SWE. Because ultrasound is known to produce thermal and mechanical effects, this study measured the temperature increase caused by B-mode, pulse Doppler (PD) and SWE, using an instrumented phantom with 11 embedded thermocouples. Experiments were performed with an Aixplorer diagnostic ultrasound system (Supersonic Imagine, Aix-en-Provence, France). As expected, the greatest heating was detected by the thermocouple closest to the surface in contact with the transducer (2.9°C for SWE, 1.2°C for PD, 0.7°C for B-mode after 380-s excitation). Both conduction from the transducer face and direct heating owing to ultrasound waves contribute to temperature increase in the phantom with SWE associated with a larger temperature increase than PD and B-mode. This article offers a methodological approach and reference data for future safety studies, as well as initial recommendations about SWE safety in obstetrics and gynaecology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
