I am a Sonographer and since sonography has not been proven to hurt the fetus in any way, I do not oppose the use of ultrasound for a closer non-diagnostic look at one's future child with of course some regulations. Due to the possibility of forming microbubbles, I believe that there should be a time regulation just to be on the safe side and it should be performed by a trained Sonographer who know what they are doing safely.

It seems to me that if the industry where to stop the 3D/4D non-diagnostic facilities from performing sonograms for entertainment purposes, it will raise the amount of sonograms we would do in a diagnostic facility. And sure I would love more work but in all reality it's unfair to keep the people from having then when there are no concrete facts to stop them. It's not really "The Land of the Free" if they are not allowed to see their babies with a safe technology method.

I appreciate your comments and appraisal of this issue with "entertainment" US, we have a nearby outfit called First Debut and the families are spending in excess of $700 dlls for the DeLuxe package: 2 portraits, DVD in 3-4D, desk size, wallet sizes, the whole ten yards!, I understand the tech doing this is credentialed by the ARDMS, just wonder if the Registry may have an opinion on this subject, especially when the tech has her big ARDMS certifficate hanging on the wall!, thanks
