Previous message: Dragos Nemescu: "Re: Ultrasound output fetal exposure" Maybe in reply to: Karen Roersma: "Ultrasound output fetal exposure" I agree, there is no obvious reason that 3D would have greater exposure... in fact as Dr. Nemescu points out, since the volume of information is acquired once and then later analyzed in detail, theoretically there might even be less exposure... depending upon the skill and experience of the person doing the comparative 2D imaging.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
