This is why we dont recommend repeated ultrasounds without a good medical reason. “Ultrasound can heat tissues slightly, and in some cases, it can also produce very small bubbles (cavitation) in some tissues,” said FDA biomedical engineer Shahram Vaezy, in a statement. Doctors dont yet know what the long-term effects of these changes are, so the FDA recommends that scans be done only when medically necessary and by trained operators. Similarly, Doppler ultrasound heartbeat monitors should be used by professionals only, it notes.
