Purpose: To determine if increasing static magnetic field strength exposures up to 8 Tesla (T) affect vital signs or electrocardiograms (ECGs) in normal human volunteers. Materials and Methods: We studied 25 normal subjects consisting of 19 men an six women, ages 24-53 years. The vital signs and ECGs of the subject were measure 14 times inside and outside the magnetic field. This included the heart rate respiratory rate systolic and diastolic blood pressures finger pulse oxygenation levels core body temperature via the external auditory canal temperature and fiber optic core body sublingual temperatures. Inside the magnetic field the vital signs were measured sequentially at field strengths of 8, 6, 4, 5, 3, and 1.5 T. Results: The only statistically significant effect of magnetic field strength was observed with systolic blood pressure. An average increase of 3.6 mm Hg in systolic blood pressure was seen with 8 T exposure. ECG rhythm strip analysis demonstrated no significant changes post exposure. Conclusions: Normal subjects exposed to varying magnetic field strengths of up to 8 T demonstrated no clinically significant changes in vital signs. Transient ECG artifacts were noted to increase with the field strength.
