Abstract

double- strand breaks fi and CMR Immuno fl uorescence microscopic and fl ow cytometric analysis revealed a signi fi cant increase in median numbers of DNA DSBs in lymphocytes induced by routine 1.5 T contrast enhancd CMR examination. The present fi ndings indicate that CMR should be used with caution and that similar restrictions may apply as for X-ray-based and nuclear imaging techniques The study demonstrates feasibility of identifying nodal tissue in living heart using extracellular fluorophores and fiber-optics confocal microscopy. Application of the approach in pediatric reconstructive heart surgery may reduce risks of injuring nodal
