Dear all
I try to summarize all responses I received, as someone asked me.
Well,
- many pregnant women have been imaged by NMR to monitor their baby but
it's a temporary exposition to magnetic field.
- there is NO scientific evidence to support harmful effects of static
magnet fields (like those of NMR) for pregnant women but there is NO proof
that they are completely safe.
- there are many women who worked with 200 - 600 MHz NMR (also no
ultrashielded) during their pregnancy, doing the fills, changing probes,
etc, without problems for babies, mothers or birth.
- many NMR managers suggested that pregnant women (especially in the first
trimester) operate at the console, avoiding the region of very strong
magnetic field.
Thank you again
