title: [In vitro study of the cytogenetic effects produced by ultrasound used in medical therapy and administered alone or in combination with X-rays].
abstract: Rabbit peripheral blood lymphocytes have been exposed in vitro in Go to therapeutic ultrasound (1 MHz continuous wave mode) alone or in combination with 50 rads of X-rays. The results demonstrate that ultrasound doses ranging from 0 to 960 J/cm2 delivered at intensity levels of 0.5 or 1 W/cm2 do not interfere with the cell kinetics of PHA stimulated cells and do not enhance the frequencies of sister chromatid exchanges above the control levels.
