After a single exposure to diagnostic ultrasound there are long lived effects on the DNA of the cells, on the behavior of the cells, and on cell growth that persists for many generations. These are changes in cell structure that have persisted over 10 generations The results confirm previous findings indicating that ultrasound of diagnostic intensities can affect the DNA of animal cells.
