X-ray-induced bio-acoustic emissions from cultured cells
Abstract
PURPOSE: We characterize for the first time the emission of acoustic waves from cultured cells irradiated with X-ray photon radiation.
METHODS AND MATERIALS: Human cancer cell lines (MCF-7, HL-60) and control cell-free media were exposed to 1 Gy X-ray photons while recording the sound generated before, during and after irradiation using custom large-bandwidth ultrasound transducer. The effects of dose rate and cell viability were investigated.
