Abstract
Purpose: In this work, we investigated the relative effects of static magnetic field exposure (10.5 Tesla [T]) on two physiological parameters; blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR). Methods: In vivo, we recorded both BP and HR in 4 swine (3 female, 1 male) while they were positioned within a 10.5T magnet. All measurements were performed invasively within these anesthetized animals by the placement of pressure catheters into their carotid arteries. Results: We measured average increases of 2.0 mm Hg (standard deviation [SD], 6.9) in systolic BP and an increase of 4.5 mm Hg (SD, 13.7) in the diastolic BPs: We also noted an average increase of 1.2 beats per minute (SD, 2.5) in the HRs during such. Conclusion: Data regarding changes in BP and HR in anesthetized swine attributed to whole-body 10.5T exposure are reported. Magn Reson Med 79:511–514, 2018.
