Nothing was reported  yet as a (side effect )of using ultrasound to get images

First...ultrasound is using high frequency sound waves whic are sent into the body through the probe. these are bounced back as they hit different density parts. they then show on a screen in real time. An x-ray is where radiation (x particles) are blown into the body and straight through. the xrays then make a print on the film. These are no longer real time as the film needs developing. Both need to interpret their product. Advantages for both are evident with the ultrasound able to be repositioned quickly to get another view and the xray has a film which can be studies and transported easily time can be taken to diagnose a result. Ultrasound is also very safe where xray is very dangerous.

It has all the sounds of a problem with good blood circulation. Yes, you should be concerned about this. Look at this URL:\n\nhttp://www.lifelinescreening.com/disease...\n\nhttp://www.umm.edu/ency/article/003104.h...\n\nhttp://www.umm.edu/ency/article/003104.h...\n\nand at this GOOD one: http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/sym/leg_sw...

Yes it can but only in massive doses, I wouldn't worry about just a simple xray to the chest, the doc needs to see what's happening with your lungs, if it's pneumonia or bronchitus, that's important.  If you were exposed to the xray machine a million times there would be a chance and only a small one at that, of developing cancer.  Don't worry about that, rest and get better.

It isn't exactly harmful. If you do this for about 50 years you can probably encounter minor hearing loss if it at a normal level.

no for patient \nmri is a imageing system with oltrasound and magnetic wave \n\nit is posible harmful for staff and oprator for long time working with this equipment  but you have few mili second wave \nand not harmful for you

Just water at room temperature, nothing else, any citric would cause temporary damage to the vocal chords..☺

I am a medical sonographer and have done many liver ultrasounds.  Not sure what your question is....I hope you get good results tomorrow!

no. one xray isnt enough to harm you really, but if you were an X ray tech or something and were constantly exposed to the stuff and didnt take any preventative measures, then it may be a concern.

Exposure to high intensity sound.\naspirin overdose.\nphysical trauma.

please see a doc sounds horrific and could be dangerous

daddio,\nThe current technology used for cat scans cause no known harm. To read more about this, view my sources linked below. Good luck!

As a science... it is ROCK SOLID.\n\nMost human tissues contain markers that are a unique to the individual as FINGERPRINTS, EYE SCANS or SNOWFLAKES.\n\nI've not heard of this DISORDER... but if it effects results, then I would guess that the disorder would be a cause to question results.

When the sound wave reaches a very high octave....you can call it microwave.\n\nMicrowaves is used in the hospital to treat kidney stones. It breaks the stones.\n\nAbout weapons? Theres already such weapon..it is installed in a modern passenger ships for prevention against pirate attacks.\n\nWhen the cells are hit by soundwaves??? or microwaves??? it will not be disentigrated but causes some type of damage.

Sounds like a question that you should ask your doctor.

yes, huge vibrations are deadly, especially sound waves travel faster in water..

i think no because if waves did effect the body then you should use wireless phones or t v antennas or radio
