Distribution of deoxyribonucleic acid breaks in damaged cells. a Only the data for damaged cells are shown and are clustered according to the number of breaks scored. In this graph, all damaged cells are considered, including rogue cells. b Statistical analysis of the damaged-cell phenotype. Cells with one or two breaks were separated from those with three or more breaks. The correlation between the number of MRI sessions and the breaks was calculated for both groups. The statistical analysis shows a strong correlation between the number of MRI sessions and the apparition of cells with few (one or two) breaks. However, there was no correlation between the number of MRI sessions and the number of cells with three or more chromosome breaks. MRI, Magnetic resonance imaging
