Ultrasound Safety

Ultrasound safety involves using sound waves at high frequencies to create images of the inside of the body without harm. These sound waves are guided into the body, and their echoes help generate images for diagnosis. The device is designed to emit very low energy levels, making it safe for patients and operators. Medical ultrasounds are regulated to ensure they do not produce excessive heat or pressure, which could cause tissue damage. Overall, when performed by trained professionals, ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive imaging method that provides valuable health information without risks from radiation or significant side effects.
