Ultrasound is often assumed to be completely safe and to deliver no radiation. Ultrasound does have bioeffects, which each user should know. Minimizing exposure to vulnerable tissues should be part of daily practice to ensure compliance with safe practice, and national guidelines. Infection control is a critical component and strategies have to be adopted to ensure disinfection and facilitate compliance.
