Q: Are scans ever dangerous?
A:
There is no evidence that scans can harm babies. However, it is wise not to have too many scans, or scans that last a long time. The scan should be done with a particular objective in mind. This will determine how often you have scans and how long each one lasts. There have been several newspaper articles of scare stories about scans. There is no scientific basis for such understandable anxieties.
