Regarding the recommendations of the British Medical Ultrasound Society for non-obstetric, non-neonatal ultrasound: a. Scanning of the eye is not recommended with a thermal index (TI) >1.0, however briefly b. There are no time restrictions on scanning with a TI <1.0 c. Scanning of the central nervous system is not recommended with a TI >3.0, and a general ultrasound examination with a TI >6.0 d. Consent is required from patients scanned by ultrasound trainees only in the case of transvaginal ultrasound e. It is recommended that the total time of the examination performed by ultrasound trainees is normally no more than triple that needed to carry out a diagnostic scan |

Answer» a. True. Note that the thermal index for soft tissue (TIS) should be monitored. b. True. c. True. Note that these values are the same as for neonatal ultrasound. The thermal index for cranial imaging (TIC) and thermal index for bone (TIB) should be used for central nervous system and general scanning, respectively. d. False. Consent is required of all patients, with verbal consent being generally acceptable. The British Medical Ultrasound Society recommends that, in the case of healthy volunteers, consent should ideally be expressed in a written form. e. False. The time should not exceed double that needed for a diagnostic examination. |
