[Effects of MRI on sex hormones and other fertility parameters in adult male rats]

ABSTRACT

Background and aim: MRI [Magnetic Resonance Imaging] is one of the best diagnostic techniques in medicine. During an MRI examination, three types of field are employed to produce images. Various experimental studies have been performed about effects of each single type of field, but only few studies are available on their combination to generate MRI. The main objective of this research was to study the effects of MRI on the sex hormones and other fertility parameters in adult male rats
