[Cytogenetic Effects Produced By An Invitro Exposure of Human-lymphocytes To Ultrasounds Delivered At Intensity Levels of 1 W/cm2 To 3 W/cm2]

Peripheral blood from four human male donors have been exposed to ultrasounds delivered at intensity levels of 1, 2 or 3 W/cm2. Cytogenetic observations performed after in vitro culture of blood samples in Ham's medium did not reveal a significant increase of structural chromosome aberrations nor of sister chromatid exchanges in the lymphocytes.
