Synopsis
Point of care MRI requires operation outside of an MR shielded room where electromagnetic interference can degrade image quality. To address this, we demonstrate a self-calibrated generalized dynamic model to retrospectively remove time-varying external interference. The method uses data acquired from multiple Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) detectors simultaneous with the primary MR coil. We test the approach both in a controlled EMI setting on an 80mT Halbach scanner and an uncontrolled real-world EMI setting on a 47.5mT permanent magnet open MRI system.
