Temperature increase induced by exposure to unscanned pulsed ultrasound at an intensity (I(SPTA)) 2.82 W/cm2 was measured in the brain adjacent to the sphenoid bone of foetal guinea-pigs in late gestation under in vitro and in vivo (in utero) conditions. After 120 s exposure a mean temperature increase of 2.6 degrees C was measured in vitro. Removal of the overlying parietal bones increased this value to 5.2 degrees C. Mean temperature increases at the sphenoid bone recorded in utero were 1.5 degrees C live and 2.0 degrees C post mortem. Measurement of foetal ECG showed that ultrasound-induced heating of the hypothalamic region did not significantly alter foetal heart rate.
