Abstract
According to one embodiment, a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes data acquisition circuitry configured to generate magnetic resonance data; a digital encoder connected to receive the magnetic resonance data and configured to digitally encode the magnetic resonance data using an encoding scheme having a spectral null approximately at the Larmor frequency; and an electric data transmission line connected to transmit the digitally encoded magnetic resonance data.
