Abstract
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) associated with the electronics of a commercially available computer controlled flow simulator substantially decreases the quality of the MR image. The effect of a custom-built radiofrequency shield on its spectral emission, and the corresponding signal-to-noise ratio measured for the image of a standard phantom, were determined. The results demonstrate the elimination of EMI and a significant improvement in image quality.Keywords
