الوصف: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a research field of high interest as the implementation of new imaging modalities can significantly improve clinical diagnosis of several human pathologies. Awake nonhuman animals in the laboratory are being used in MRI pre-clinical systems for the validation of new imaging techniques, but animal welfare concerns emerge as MRI pulse sequences produce extremely loud sounds, up to 120 dB. Consequently, it is unclear how stressful these sounds are to the animals. Here, the impact of these sounds in the rodent behavior and physiology was evaluated. To achieve this, C57BL6/J mice were divided into two groups: a group exposed to sounds of typical pulse sequences used in imaging and a control group that was not exposed to those sounds. Mice have been tested in the open field and elevated plus maze to monitor baseline behavior and a hormonal stress biomarker was assayed to assess acute stress. The results indicate that the pulse sequences used in MRI are transient stressors that overall do not impact the behavioral status of the animals.
