Abstract
The potential teratogenicity of magnetic resonance (MR) field exposure on the early development of the chick embryo was examined. Eggs at four developmental stages within the first 42 hours of incubation were exposed to a static magnetic field of 1.5 T for 6 hours and to 64‐MHz radio‐frequency field pulses and a switched magnetic field gradient with an amplitude of 0.6 G/cm for 4 h. When the embryos were sacrificed shortly thereafter (at ±53 hours of incubation), the abnormality and mortality rates of exposed and unexposed (control) embryos in each of the developmental groups did not show a consistent pattern. When embryos were sacrificed on the 6th day of incubation, exposed embryos from all developmental groups showed a trend toward higher abnormality and mortality rates than their controls. More extensive studies are needed to confirm these findings.

## Abstract Although no ionizing radiation is involved, patients undergoing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are exposed to powerful static magnetic fields, magnetic field gradients, and radio‐frequency fields that may be potentially damaging. Our study aims to document the effect of MRI imaging se
Factors affecting the development of filial preferences in chicks were investigated. Four groups of chicks were hatched and maintained in darkness. When the chicks were 20-hr old, three of these groups were exposed to an overhead light ("primed") for .5 h. When 24-hr old, all groups were placed in r
