The American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) Bioeffects Committee on the safety of clinical Ultrasound |
| Findings: |
- Widespread clinical use over 25 years has not established any adverse effect arising from exposure to diagnostic ultrasound.
- Randomized clinical studies are the most rigorous method for assessing potential adverse effects of diagnostic ultrasound. Studies using this methodology show no evidence of any effect on birthweight in humans.
- Other epidemiologic studies have shown no causal association of diagnostic ultrasound with any of the adverse fetal outcomes studies
- No confirmed biological effects on patients or instrument operators caused by exposure at intensities typical of present diagnostic ultrasound instruments have ever been reported.
