ultrasound safety guidelines

Ultrasound safety guidelines ensure that the procedure is used effectively without causing harm. They recommend using the lowest possible energy and shortest duration necessary to obtain clear images, minimizing any potential tissue heating or mechanical effects. Trained professionals should operate the equipment, and ultrasound should be used only when medically necessary. These guidelines help protect patients by balancing diagnostic benefits with the need to avoid unnecessary exposure, ensuring the procedure remains a safe and valuable tool in medical assessment.
