(KLTV) - More and more pregnant women are visiting boutique ultrasound shops to get keepsake 3D images of their babies in the womb, but the FDA is warning expectant mothers to stay away from the commercial ultrasound business.
“Patients should be aware that excessive exposure to ultrasound may have an effect on the fetus,” says Dr. Daren Yeager, of Trinity Mother Frances Obstetrics and Gynecology.
Fetal ultrasound imaging provides real-time images of an unborn child. Improving technology has led to a growing number of non-medical facilities offering 3D images and even videos of unborn children as keepsakes.
“Generally speaking, a fetal sonogram is considered safe, but we recommend only the ones that are medically necessary,” says Dr. Yeager.
He says ultrasounds can provide vital information about the fetus, but the number of ultrasounds performed during pregnancy is important.
“When an ultrasound is performed, you want to limit the amount of time you expose any one part of the baby to the ultrasound waves, and you also want to minimize the energy used to produce the ultrasound image,” he says.
According to the FDA, in some cases, commercial ultrasound machines are used for as long as one hour to get video and images of a fetus.
“When you get an ultrasound, there is some exposure to those ultrasonic waves which can generate heat and is known to have effects on tissue. So, there's always a concern about having too much exposure to ultrasound, especially at any one time,” says Dr. Yeager.
In a recent consumer update, the FDA stated, “The long-term effects of tissue heating and cavitation are not known. Therefore, ultrasound scans should be done only when there is a medical need, based on a prescription, and performed by appropriately-trained operators.”
“Most doctor's offices now, when they perform medically based ultrasounds, also do perform 3-D ultrasounds. We provide our patients with both 3D pictures and a video at the time of their medical sonogram,” says Dr. Yeager.
Dr. Yeager says when ultrasounds are used properly under a doctor's care, they are not dangerous.
