TI  - Prenatal ultrasound heating impacts on fluctuations in haematological analysis of 
      Oryctolagus cuniculus.

AB  - Prenatal Ultrasound (US) is commonly used as a routine procedure on pregnant 
      women. It is generally perceived as a safe procedure due to the use of 
      non-ionizing radiation. However, the neurotoxicity of diagnostic prenatal US was 
      detected to have a correlation with high susceptibility to early developing 
      fetus. This research involved in vivo experimental model by using 3(rd) trimester 
      pregnant Oryctolagus cuniculus and exposing them to US exposures for 30, 60, and 
      90 minutes at their gestational day (GD) 28-29. The output power and intensities, 
      spatial peak temporal average intensity (ISPTA) of US were varied from 0.4 to 0.7 
      W and 0.13 to 0.19 W/cm(2) respectively were tested initially in free-field, 
      water. Haematological analysis was carried out to detect any changes in blood 
      constituents. Statistically significant differences were detected in red blood 
      cell (RBC) count (P<0.001), haemoglobin (Hb) concentration (P<0.001) and also 
      platelet (PLT) count (P<0.001) in newborn of Oryctolagus cuniculus. These 
      findings indicate the possibility of US heating in causing defects on studied 
      animal.
