Using exposure conditions comparable to those which have been associated by others with positive results, we tested for effects of ultrasound on sperm production over a period of 12 weeks following treatment. Continuous wave exposure with spatial average intensities of 1, 2 and 4 W/cm2 and exposure times up to 10 minutes were used. In some experiments, the exposures were repeated after an elapsed time of 48 h. No significant changes in spermatogenesis were related to any of the exposure conditions in spite of the fact that some of the treatments caused thermal tissue damage near bone. No effects of exposure were found in weights of the testis, prostate, seminal vesicle, or whole body.
我们采用了与其他人获得阳性结果时所使用的类似的暴露条件，在治疗后的12周内测试了超声波对精子生成的影响。使用了空间平均强度分别为1、2和4W/cm²的连续波暴露，暴露时间最长可达10分钟。在一些实验中，48小时后重复进行暴露。尽管某些治疗导致了靠近骨骼处的组织热损伤，但精子发生的任何显著变化均与任何暴露条件无关。在睾丸、前列腺、精囊或全身的重量方面未发现暴露的影响。
