Re:=20 Prenatal screening and ultrasound risks

david.toms{at}cha.nshealth.ca David A Toms

The authors of "Wrongful birth litigation and prenatal = screening" make=20 no mention of risks that may be associated with screening tests = for fetal=20 genetic abnormalities (1). During measurements of nuchal thickness = for=20 first-trimester screening, however, the fetal eyes may receive = prolonged=20 exposure to ultrasound with mechanical intensities well above the = Canadian=20 regulatory guidelines for ophthalmic sonography. The relevant = displayed=20 measurement is the mechanical index (MI). The maximum for = ophthalmic=20 ultrasound imaging is 0.23, but for obstetric imaging it is 1.9 = (2). The=20 fetal eye is thus given less consideration than the eye after = birth.=20 Typical MI values for clinical obstetric sonography are 0.7- 1.0 = (3).=20 Ultrasound is partly absorbed by overlying tissues in the case of = the=20 fetus, but MI values are inherently adjusted for this (4). United = States=20 Food and Drug Administration regulatory guidelines are the same as = for=20 Canada (5).=20
It is possible to obtain satisfactory fetal imaging with an MI = value=20 less than 0.23 using appropriate equipment selection and = operation;=20 consideration should be given to obtaining informed consent prior = to first=20 -trimester ultrasound examinations for genetic screening when the = MI=20 exceeds 0.23.=20
