Abstract
The frequencies of sister chromatid exchange (SCE) induced by pulse-wave ultrasound in lymphocytes obtained from the human umbilical vein was examined. The following results were obtained. There is an increase in the frequency of SCE with increases in acoustic power. The critical acoustic power was 37.3-73 mW/cm2 (spatial average temporal average, SATA). Regardless of changes in pulse duration and repeated pulse frequency, if the acoustic power remains constant, the SCE frequency does not change significantly.Keywords
