Data Set Name | Echocardiography of the mouse and rat heart after exposure to chronic neutrons, silicon ions, with and without the administration of aspirin as a potential countermeasure |
Data Set Description |
Echocardiography data obtained at 400 and 800 days after the start of radiation exposure in the following groups (each in a separate tab in the datasheet):
- Male C3H mice exposed to a single dose of silicon ions and treated chronically with low-dose aspirin for 400 days after radiation Transthoracic echocardiography was performed in rats and mice under light (2%) isoflurane anesthesia using a 12 MHz sector or 15 MHz linear array transducer connected to a Phillips XD11 Ultrasound system. Short axis 2D images were used to determine left ventricular end-diastolic and end-systolic areas, fractional shortening, and wall thicknesses. No outliers identified. |
