Exposure source
Chamber
Plexiglas exposure chambers. They were connected to a warm-water cycle to keep the temperature constant in the range of 36.5°C to 37.5°C.
Setup
The cells were placed into the chamber that was positioned in the center of the magnetic field of the MR imaging unit. The control groups were placed into a second chamber that was positioned outside the magnetic field in the control room.
Frequency
Exposure duration
continuous for 1 h/day for 5 consecutive days
Exposure source
Setup
The cells were positioned in the magnetic bore of a 1.0 T MR imaging unit.
