Phase errors in FSE signals due to low frequency electromagnetic interference

AbstractObjective ntitatively evaluate induced phase errors in fast spin echo (FSE) signals due to low frequency electromagnetic inference (EMI). s ic form of Bloch equation is numerically solved in time domain for two different FSE pulse sequences (ETL = 8) with two different bandwidths. A single spin is modeled at x = 10 cm, EMI frequencies are simulated from 1 to 1000 Hz and phase errors at different echo times are calculated. s errors in the received echo signals induced by EMI are significantly higher at low frequencies (< 200 Hz) than at high frequencies and the phase errors at low frequencies can be effectively reduced by using high receiving bandwidth. sion sequence bandwidth can be used to control the phase errors in the FSE signals due to low frequency EMI.
