A Novel Use of Three-dimensional High-frequency Ultrasonography for Early Pregnancy Characterization in the Mouse

8.8K
Mice are widely used to study gestational biology. However, pregnancy termination is required for such studies which precludes longitudinal investigations and necessitates the use of large numbers of animals. Therefore, we describe a non-invasive technique of high-frequency ultrasonography for early detection and monitoring of post-implantation events in the pregnant mouse.

Diagnostic ultrasound imaging has proven to be effective in diagnosing various respiratory diseases in human and animal subjects. We demonstrate a comprehensive ultrasound protocol utilized by Dr. Zuo's lab to analyze diaphragm kinetics specifically in mouse models. This is also a non-invasive research technique which can provide quantitative information on mouse respiratory muscle...

Decision-making is an important component of human executive function, in which a choice about a course of action or cognition is made from many possibilities. Damage to the inferior parts of the frontal lobes can affect a person's ability to make good decisions. However, while decision-making deficits can have a large impact on one's life, these deficits can be difficult to quantify in the...

Transabdominal Ultrasound for Pregnancy Diagnosis in Reeves' Muntjac Deer09:26

Transabdominal Ultrasound for Pregnancy Diagnosis in Reeves' Muntjac Deer

10.8K
Transabdominal ultrasound is described as an effective, noninvasive means for assessing reproductive status in Reeves' muntjac deer. These methods can be used to achieve early pregnancy diagnosis and to evaluate fetal viability. Future applications of this technique include estimation of gestational age and effects of maternal disease on fetal...

Summary

Diagnostic imaging during pregnancy, even with ionizing radiation, is generally safe. Fetal radiation doses below 50 mGy pose no significant risks, allowing clinically indicated procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiology
  • Obstetrics

Background:

  • Diagnostic imaging in pregnancy is increasing, particularly CT scans.
  • Assessing risks and benefits of imaging modalities is crucial for mother and fetus.
  • Radiation doses are typically well below 50 mGy, a threshold with no known risks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the safety and risks of diagnostic imaging involving ionizing radiation during pregnancy.
  • To provide guidance on counselling and informed consent for pregnant patients undergoing imaging.
  • To address concerns regarding radiation exposure and cancer risk in fetuses.

Main Methods:

  • Review of epidemiological data on low-dose radiation effects.
  • Analysis of current understanding of radiation biology and oncogenicity risk.
  • Summary of risks associated with contrast agents.

Main Results:

  • Fetal radiation doses below 50 mGy do not cause lethality, genetic damage, teratogenicity, growth impairment, or sterility.
  • Older data on cancer risk from low-dose radiation is contradicted by newer evidence.
  • The linear no-threshold model for radiation risk is being challenged.

Conclusions:

  • Clinically indicated diagnostic imaging should not be withheld during pregnancy due to radiation concerns.
  • Effective communication of realistic risks and benefits is essential for informed consent.
  • Healthcare professionals must be well-informed to provide consistent patient counseling.
