21、ion for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC

22、publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with

23、may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non- governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agr

24、eement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees. 3) IEC

25、 Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are use

26、d or for any misinterpretation by any end user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the co

27、rresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible f

28、or any services carried out by independent certification bodies. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees

29、and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications. 8)

30、 Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent righ

31、ts. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. The main task of IEC technical committees is to prepare International Standards. However, a technical committee may propose the publication of a technical report when it has collected data of a different kind from t

32、hat which is normally published as an International Standard, for example “state of the art“. IEC 62649, which is a technical report, has been prepared by committee TC 87: Ultrasonics. The text of this technical report is based on the following documents: Enquiry draft Report on voting 87/420/DTR 87

33、/428/RVC Full information on the voting for the approval of this technical report can be found in the report on voting indicated in the above table. This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. TR 62649 IEC:2010(E) 5 The committee has decided that the contents

34、 of this publication will remain unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under “http:/webstore.iec.ch“ in the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be reconfirmed, withdrawn, replaced by a revised edition, or amended. A bilingual versio

35、n of this publication may be issued at a later date. 6 TR 62649 IEC:2010(E) INTRODUCTION This Technical Report is concerned with standards for high intensity therapeutic ultrasound (HITU) and concentrates on applications that destroy tissue by heating which may or may not be accompanied by acoustic

36、cavitation and other mechanisms. The purpose of the report is to identify topics where there is a consensus that the development of international standards would benefit the industries and/or patients involved with these forms of therapeutic ultrasound. The shortcomings of existing standards as they

37、 may be related to the applications of interest are reviewed. It is not its purpose to propose or evaluate specific alternative measurement methods which may be more reliably applied to HITU or other therapeutic equipment. Physiotherapy and lithotripsy are excluded as there are existing standards fo

38、r these established uses. Lower intensity applications such as enhanced bone healing or ultrasound-induced gene therapy are not explicitly considered. The use of HITU has advanced to the point where systems have achieved clinical approval for general use in several countries. Medical applications an

39、d product development are continuing rapidly. The corresponding products of many companies have been approved for marketing and clinical applications. Fast development in preclinical medicine, clinic medicine, and product manufacture has created an urgent need to standardize measurements of the basi

40、c acoustic parameters and the field characteristics of HITU. In order to promote the further development of HITU and to ensure its safe and effective use, international standards are required. TR 62649 IEC:2010(E) 7 REQUIREMENTS FOR MEASUREMENT STANDARDS FOR HIGH INTENSITY THERAPEUTIC ULTRASOUND (HI

41、TU) DEVICES 1 Scope This technical report is relevant to the measurement and specification of ultrasound fields intended for medical therapeutic purposes. Lithotripsy and physiotherapy are excluded, since there are existing International Standards for these applications. It establishes: topics where

42、 there is a consensus that the development of International Standards would benefit the industries and/or patients; topics where the writing of standards should start immediately; topics where the writing of technical specifications should start immediately in order to gain practical experience and

43、establish consensus prior to standardisation; topics which require future standardisation but where further research is required before initiating the writing of standards or technical specifications. This report addresses primarily the requirements for measurement standards related to high intensit

44、y therapeutic ultrasound (HITU) also known as high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) fields which are both high intensity and focused and where the main mechanism for action is thermal. However, aspects of the discussion, conclusions and any resulting standards or technical specifications may also

45、 be relevant to therapeutic applications which are either focused or high intensity or where the main mechanism is not thermal. Scientific literature has been reviewed and responses to a questionnaire which was sent to experts around the world are reported. 2 Background Recent years have seen a dram

46、atic rise in interest in using ultrasound as a surgical and therapeutic tool in its own right. Much of this growth has been due to the use of High Intensity Therapeutic Ultrasound (HITU) for tissue ablation in the treatment of cancers and conditions such as benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH). Here, u

47、ltrasound is brought to a focus within tissue with the intention of generating intensity levels sufficient to raise the local tissue temperature above 55 C. Like so much in ultrasound, this technique was first tested many years ago (Lynn et al, 1942; Wall et al, 1951, Fry et al, 1954), but recent ma

48、terials, computing and other technological advances have allowed it to come close to the medical mainstream. The ability to generate such high temperatures within tissue brings with it the absolute requirement to ensure that the treatment is delivered to the correct level and at the correct site. Th

49、is in turn means that accurate methods of predicting the dose and monitoring performance are required. Consequently, reliable measurement and characterisation methods are needed for this application above all others. However, HITU is not the only therapeutic application. Ultrasound physiotherapy, of course, has been widely used since the 1950s (Imig et al, 1954; Gersten, 1955) and lithotripsy since 1980 (Chaussy et al) for the destruction of kidney stones.
