# SF-002 — Performance during movement in MRI stray fields

Why this matters
Work near an MRI scanner raises a question about movement through the field as well as field strength. This human-experiment retrieval lead concerns short-term performance. Its original methods and results still need verification before it can inform workplace practice; it does not assess mobile-phone exposure.

Topic: Intermediate and static fields

Verification Group: Retrieval lead

Record Role: Retrieval lead

Featured: False

Exposure: Tesla-scale MRI static magnetic fields and motion through gradients.

Design: Human experiment.

Finding: Affirmative vestibular or neurobehavioural finding described in discovery dossier.

Boundary: Retained in a separate regime-specific catalogue. No inference to Wi-Fi or mobile-phone exposures.

Protection Question: Does movement through an MRI stray field affect short-term performance? Verification of the original methods and results remains necessary before this lead can inform workplace protection.
