Abstract
An instrument has been developed to measure the acoustic pressure field in vivo during an obstetric ultrasound examination. This provides for improved intensity values for exposure calculations, to assist in assessment of bioeffects. The ultrasonic field is sampled using a calibrated seven-element linear array hydrophone of poly(vinylidene difluoride) transducers, which is placed as close as possible to the ovary, embryo, or fetus using a vaginal approach. The RF signals from the hydrophone are digitized at 50 MHz, and the maximum amplitude waveform received in the examination is recorded. The output of the clinical B-scanner is calibrated by a measurement with the hydrophone in a water bath. From the hydrophone measurements, the in vivo I(SPTA), I(SPTP), and I(SPPA) are computed. Further analysis allows the frequency-dependent tissue attenuation to be assessed.
