We present the initial results of our 10.5T safety study measuring the impact on cognitive, vestibular, and physiological metrics. Data from 17 subjects show evidence of short term (same day) but no long term (weeks) fatigue, increased nystagmus upon initial exposure to static field, with no relevant effect on physiological measures when at isocenter.
