Abstract
Summary Chinese hamster ovary cells were treated with ultrasound from a fetal pulse detector (Eucotone, Siemens) operated at 10 mW/cm2 and 2.2 MHz. The frequencies of structural chromosomal aberrations and of sister chromatid exchanges were not increased by the treatment. There was no indication of single-strand breaks induced by ultrasound in the G2 phase of the cell cycle.Keywords
