Abstract excerpt

Magnetic resonance imaging is a diagnostic technique widely used in medicine and showing a growing impact in cardiology. Biological effects associated to magnetic resonance electromagnetic fields have received far little attention, but it cannot be ruled out that these fields can alter DNA structure. The present study aimed at to identify possible DNA damage induced by magnetic resonance scan in humans....
