In this work we developed a new retrofit MR Elastography
(MRE) system consist of a gradient-echo type multiecho
MR sequence and a wirelessly synchronized pneumatic
vibration system. In the previous work (ISMRM2014,
1686), we introduced the wireless TR synchronization
system with a dipole antenna tuned for the RF excitation
frequency to make any electrical wiring from the MRI
electronics unnecessary. However, the dipole antenna
connected to the cable through a hole in the RF shield
room, may introduce RF noise into the shield room and
cause MR noises. In this study, we replaced the cable by
an optical fiber, to prevent the external RF noise enter
the magnet room.
