I can vouch for that. I used to have to cross Queens Blvd to visit my grandparents every weekend during the school years 1960-63 in Rego Park. I can't imagine how chaotic it would be today. I would estimate the danger to be over 1000 times that of a first trimester ultrasound in the early 1960's (the danger likely limited to the effects of somebody tripping over the vaginal probe cord during the exam, or perhaps a severe sneeze by the ultrasonographer.

it appears that 1st trimester ultrasound is safer than crossing queens boulevard in NYC.
