Abstract

As transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS) advances as a precise, non-invasive neuromodulatory method, there is a need for consistent reporting standards to enable comparison and reproducibility across studies. To this end, the International Transcranial Ultrasonic Stimulation Safety and Standards Consortium (ITRUSST) formed a subcommittee of experts across several domains to review and suggest standardised reporting parameters for low intensity TUS, resulting in the guide presented here. The scope of the guide is limited to reporting the ultrasound aspects of a study. The guide and supplementary material provide a simple checklist covering the reporting of: (1) the transducer and drive system, (2) the drive system settings, (3) the free field acoustic parameters, (4) the pulse timing parameters, (5) in situ estimates of exposure parameters in the brain, and (6) intensity parameters. Detailed explanations for each of the parameters, including discussions on assumptions, measurements, and calculations, are also provided.

ITRUSST 经颅超声刺激标准化报告共识。

随着经颅超声刺激（TUS）作为一种精确、非侵入性神经调节方法的发展，有必要制定统一的报告标准，以便在各项研究中进行比较和再现。为此，国际经颅超声刺激安全与标准联盟 (ITRUSST) 成立了一个由多个领域专家组成的小组委员会，对低强度 TUS 的标准化报告参数进行审查并提出建议，最终形成了本指南。指南的范围仅限于报告研究的超声方面。指南和补充材料提供了一份简单的核对表，涵盖了以下方面的报告：(1) 传感器和驱动系统；(2) 驱动系统设置；(3) 自由场声学参数；(4) 脉冲定时参数；(5) 脑内暴露参数的原位估算；(6) 强度参数。此外，还提供了对每个参数的详细解释，包括对假设、测量和计算的讨论。

期刊介绍： Brain Stimulation publishes on the entire field of brain stimulation, including noninvasive and invasive techniques and technologies that alter brain function through the use of electrical, magnetic, radiowave, or focally targeted pharmacologic stimulation. Brain Stimulation aims to be the premier journal for publication of original research in the field of neuromodulation. The journal includes: a) Original articles; b) Short Communications; c) Invited and original reviews; d) Technology and methodological perspectives (reviews of new devices, description of new methods, etc.); and e) Letters to the Editor. Special issues of the journal will be considered based on scientific merit.
