Ultrasound Exposure During Pregnancy

Could current safety measures in using ultrasound imaging during pregnancy ignore a key factor that may lead to epigenetic alterations?

Research has established that ultrasound energy, i.e. the amount of exposure time and not just intensity (aka MI - Mechanical Index), can lead to various biophysical effects on cells. Notwithstanding is the fact that ultrasound is used in the lab to push gene vectors into the nucleus.
Time to take a fresh look at the impact of Ultrasound imaging on embroys.

    Ouch. This is the kind of news that makes you consider whether we unintentionally messed up an entire generation. But do you think there is any effect on the aging process itself?

    So far I have seen only favorable effects in wound and fracture healing, treating Parkinson, Essential Tremor, and hopegully Alzheimer (Phase I is being conducted). If used correctly and with real-time feedback and control, it can become the Healer App.
