Abstract
Recently significant changes of human brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP) after exposure to static magnetic fields were reported (L. von Klitzing, Clin. Physiol. Meas. 7(2), 157 (1986); L. Stojan, D. Sperber, and K. Dransfeld, Naturwissenschaften 75, 622 (1988)). We recorded BAEPs of 11 subjects before and after a routine MRI examination at 1.5 T. In addition the BAEP of a healthy volunteer was measured in five different static magnetic fields (0‐2.0 T). Our results indicate that routine MRI investigations do not significantly alter the interpeak latencies of the BAEPs. © 1990 Academic Press, Inc.
