“…Based on empirical data for thermal bioeffects in mammals, professional organizations such as the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) and the British Medical Ultrasound Society (BMUS) have developed guidelines for maximum exposure durations as functions of TI [93]- [96]. The guidelines are different for fetal and postnatal tissues because fetal tissues are more thermally sensitive than postnatal tissues.…”

“…For obstetric exams, monitoring the TIS is recommended up to 10 weeks from the last menstrual period (LMP) or a crownrump length (CRL) of about 33-34mm, and TIB thereafter. Dwell times should be reduced by 33% for ARFI and pulsed Doppler examinations when bone is near the transducer focus [91], [96]. Table reprinted from [91].…”

Wearable ultrasound has the potential to become a disruptive technology enabling new applications not only in traditional clinical settings, but also in settings where ultrasound is not currently used. Understanding the basic engineering principles and limitations of wearable ultrasound is critical for clinicians, scientists, and engineers to advance potential applications and translate the technology from bench to bedside. Wearable ultrasound devices, especially monitoring devices, have the potential to apply acoustic energy to the body for far longer durations than conventional diagnostic ultrasound systems. Thus, bioeffects associated with prolonged acoustic exposure as well as skin health need to be carefully considered for wearable ultrasound devices. This paper reviews emerging clinical applications, safety considerations, and future engineering and clinical research directions for wearable ultrasound technology.
