title: Synergistic biological effects of ultrasound and ionizing radiations evaluated in vitro.
abstract: The effects of diagnostic ultrasound on growing asynchronous cultures of Chinese hamster ovarian cells were evaluated, with particular attention to possible synergism with ionizing radiations. Measurements of cellular growth rate/survival and changes in morphology indicated that synergistic biological effects were absent.
