Assessing Acoustic Safety in Prenatal Ultrasound: A Comparative Study of Doppler and B‐Mode Examinations
Although TI values remained within recommended safety ranges, persistently elevated MI values emphasize the need for vigilance. Doppler should not be routinely restricted but reserved for clinically justified cases. Sonographers should actively monitor TI and MI values during scans and minimize exposure time, adjusting scan duration according to gestational age and modality to ensure fetal safety.
