Report from EFSUMB Safety Committee (ECMUS)
Publication History
Publication Date:
11 June 2007 (online)
As you can see below, the Safety Committee has worked hard to produce two new statements: a 2006 Clinical Safety statement and one about the production of souvenir images or recording during pregnancy. The appearance of high street boutiques in which an expectant couple can obtain a souvenir (keepsake) 3D video recording has caused some concern, and ECMUS felt that it was important that EFSUMB should publish its stance on this. The new clinical statement includes clauses about 3D and 4D imaging for the first time, and has an expanded section about the use of contrast agents.
The membership of the Safety Committee has undergone some changes during 2006. Tony Whittingham (UK) has retired as its Chairman, and he must be thanked for all his hard work on this committee, the new statements would not have appeared without his efforts. Gail ter Haar (UK) has taken over as the Chair and we must also welcome Christian Kollmann (Austria) as a second new member. The other members are Phillipe Arbeille (France), Michael Delius (Germany), Ricardo Laurini (Norway), Malcolm Levene (UK) and Karel Marsal (Sweden).
ECMUS exists to serve the EFSUMB membership. If there is any area for concern or topic that could benefit from clarification please do not hesitate to let us know.
