Heating of metallic intrauterine contraceptive devices during ultrasound examination.

Heating of metallic IUDs during ultrasound examination has been suggested as a possible hazard to surrounding tissues. Serial temperature measurements of such devices during insonation with commercially available ultrasound equipment show no temperature changes during prolonged exposure. The results indicate that the possibility of significant heating of metallic objects within the body may be disregarded in clinical practice.
