Dear Valuable Customer,We here with would like to inform you that the American Institute of
Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) advocates the responsible use of diagnostic ultrasound. The
AIUM strongly discourages the non-medical use of ultrasound for psychosocial or
entertainment purposes. The use of either two-dimensional (2D) or three-dimensional (3D)
ultrasound to only view the fetus, obtain a picture of the fetus or determine the fetal gender
without a medical indication is inappropriate and contrary to responsible medical practice.
Although the general use of ultrasound for medical diagnosis is considered safe, ultrasound
energy has the potential to produce biological effects. Ultrasound bioeffects may result from
scanning for a prolonged period, inappropriate use of color or pulsed Doppler ultrasound
without a medical indication, or excessive thermal or mechanical index settings (American
Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine: Keepsake Fetal Imaging; 2005). Thus ultrasound should be
used in a prudent manner to provide medical benefit to the patient.
