Hollywood hunk, Tom Cruise has been criticized over the ultra sound machine by the officials at the American College of Radiology (ACR).
The experts warned Tom that using the machine might endanger his unborn child health.
Dr. Carol Rumack, of the ACR Ultrasound Commission, says, "This is a patient safety issue. Untrained people, even if they have the financial means, should not buy, or be allowed to buy and operate, ultrasound machines which are, in fact, medical devices and should not be used without a medical indication."
"The ACR is concerned that Tom Cruise has been badly advised regarding the use and potential abuse of ultrasound. There are many abnormalities that may be missed by the untrained eye. Also, if it is not medically necessary, the use of ultrasound raises unnecessary physical risk to the fetus," the doctor added.
