For wireless MRI to become a reality, methods must be developed to synchronize receivers that have no physical connection to the scanner. Here, we demonstrate that dual pilot tones are needed to correct for both timing skew and frequency offsets. Bench tests were performed with a master and free running slave receiver, in which the images were re-synchronized by frequency estimation methods on pilot tones.
