Title: The effects of pulsed ultrasound on the fetus.

Authors: Carstensen, E L; Gates, A H

Published In J Ultrasound Med, (1984 Apr)

Abstract: Recent developments suggest that transient cavitation must be considered in assessing the safety of diagnostic uses of ultrasound. An analysis of the literature on exposure of the fetus to pulsed ultrasound reveals no direct evidence that diagnostic ultrasound produces any effect on the fetus.
