Ultrasound inReproductive Medicine: Is It Safe?

Introduction

The rst published description of the clinical use of ultrasound in obstetrics and gynecology (OB-GYN) dates from 1958 [1] and describes the value of this new technology for the diagnosis of abdominal masses, specically ovarian cysts. Since then its use has increased exponentially and is ubiquitous in the daily practice of OB-GYN. Another OB-GYN specialty that has equally burgeoned is reproductive endocrinology and infertility (REI). These two disciplines are strongly interconnected, in part because of the major progress made in image quality and the introduction of new modalities, such as color and spectral Doppler or three-dimensional (3D) ultra­sound, which has greatly facilitated diagnosis, interventions, and certain forms of therapy in fer­tility treatments and assisted reproductive tech­nology. Because ultrasound is a waveform, with alternating positive and negative pressure, it has effects in tissues it traverses. These may be ther­mal and nonthermal (or mechanical). The ques­tion that bears asking is: can these effects be detrimental to the developing follicle, ovum, or early fetus? A publication describing premature

ovulation in women whose ovaries were exposed to ultrasound is often quoted but dates from 1982 [2]. This chapter will briey describe the physics of ultrasound and its interaction with live tissue, dene bioeffects and on-screen indicators of potential risk, focus on ovarian scanning in ART, and discuss fetus susceptibility and safety mea­sures. Bioeffects and safety of ultrasound in preg­nancy, in general, and in later gestation, in particular, will not be addressed. The interested reader may consult various book chapters and reviews on this topic [311].
A Short Review ofUltrasound Physics
Ultrasound is a waveform, characterized by vari­ous parameters:
Frequency is the number of cycles per second, measured in hertz (Hz). Human ears can dis­cern sounds at approximately 20Hz to 20,000 HZ. Diagnostic ultrasound is, generally, 2–15million Hz (2–15megahertz, MHz).
Wavelength is the distance between two cor- responding points on a particular wave. It is inversely proportional to the frequency (0.2–1.5mm).
Resolution (i.e., the shortest distance between two points which allows these two points to be displayed separately) depends on the wave-

length: the axial resolution ranges between 2 and 4 wavelengths. Therefore, the smaller the wavelength (which corresponds to the higher the frequency), the better the resolution (the distance between the two points is smaller) but the lower the penetration. This explains why endovaginal probes have better resolu­tion (higher frequency) but lower penetration, hence the need to be closer to the organs being examined.
• Diagnostic ultrasound is not continuous but pulsed. There are pulses separated by silent intervals. The number of pulses occurring in 1 second is the pulse repetition frequency (PRF). The fraction of time that the pulsed ultrasound is on (duty factor) is very impor­tant from a potential bioeffect aspect. When the PRF increases, so does the duty factor. Since the ultrasound wave is sinusoidal, there are alternating periods of positive and nega­tive pressure which allow the wave to propa­gate through tissues by means of particle motions. The speed of propagation is related both to the beam and several of the tissue properties. The average speed of sound propa­gation in biological tissues is estimated at 1540m/sec.
• When pressure is exerted on the resisting insonated tissue, work is produced. The ability of the wave to do this is its energy (in joules), and the rate at which the energy is transformed from one form to another is the power (in watts, W, or milliwatts, mW).
• When the power is expressed as a function of area unit (in cm
2
), this is intensity (generally in mW/cm2). Bioeffects are conventionally related to the acoustic intensity. As stated above, pulses of energy are intermingled with periods where no energy is emitted. When describing an ultrasound wave, several param­eters can be described in relation to time or space. By combining peak and average values in time and space, six intensities can be dened. The spatial peak-temporal average intensity (ISPTA) is the most practical and most commonly referred to and corresponds to the energy averaged over a period of time. The maximal permitted values based on vari-

ous clinical applications being considered were rst determined in 1976 by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) [12] but were modied in 1986 [13]. The most recent deni­tion dates from 1992 [14]. These values (in
2
mW/cm
) are shown in Table1.1 for the vari­ous applications (left column) as a function of the year they were implemented (modied from references [1013]). The numbers in parentheses indicate the percentage increase, compared to the previously allowed intensity.
It is interesting to observe from the table that,
for fetal imaging, the ISPTA was allowed to increase by a factor of almost 16 from 1976 to the most recent values in 1992, yet, as will be described below, all known epidemiological information available regarding fetal effects pre­dates 1992. A further remarkable fact is that inten­sity for ophthalmic examination has not changed from the original 17 mW/cm2, a value approxi­mately 42.5 times lower than the present allowed maximal value for fetal scanning. Furthermore, pelvic imaging (abdominal or transvaginal) is not specied in the above table, but one can assume that the ISPTA is the same as adult abdominal imaging, i.e., 720mW/cm
2
, also quite higher than
that allowed for scanning of the eye.
Tissue Characteristics
When the ultrasound wave travels through a medium, its intensity diminishes with distance [15]. Biologic tissues are nonhomogeneous, and weakening (attenuation) of the signal results from absorption and scattering, as well as reec- tion. Absorption is the sound energy being con­verted to other forms of energy, and scattering is the sound being reected in directions other than
