Meanwhile in other countries (Canada), the Association of Radiologist with the Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists would rather target a growing trend that may ACTUALLY pose harm and that a larger portion of the population seek -- the non-medical use of ultrasound technology (example: gender determination). Why wouldnt our own ACOG be more concerned about this problem here in the US? Perhaps because its a billable procedure?! $$$$$$ This technology should not be used for the sole purpose of determining fetal gender without a medical indication for that scan. The CAR and SOGC strongly oppose the non-medical use of fetal ultrasound and encourage governments to join with our organizations to find appropriate means to deal with this public health issue.
