ABSTRACT:
An MRI system includes a noise filter which receives each acquired NMR signal during a scan and detects short-duration noise pulses by sensing the signal level in a band of frequencies outside the imaging bandwidth. A blanking circuit suppresses the NMR signal during the time interval each noise pulse is detected to remove the noise pulse prior to image reconstruction.
