Guidance on reporting ultrasound exposure conditions for bio-effects studies.
This guidance is intended to encourage best practice among researchers into ultrasound bio-effects in terms of how they determine and report the exposure conditions used in their studies. It covers both diagnostic and therapeutic applications of ultrasound and is intended to be useful to the researchers themselves, to the review boards of ethical and funding committees and to the editors and reviewers of scientific journals. Recommendations are made for reporting formats, depending on the information available, and level of the study.
