Which outcome occurs when RF shielding fails during MRI operation?

A)Image artifacts become increasingly severe
B)Scanner's cryogens rapidly boil away
C)Gradient coils begin electromagnetic ringing
D)Subject heart rate pattern destabilizes severely

💡 Explanation

Severe image artifacts occur because ingress of external RF noise overwhelms the subtle signals during the Larmor precession detected by the MRI system; signal to noise ratio plummets rather than the system affecting cryogen behaviour or cardiac parameters because the fields interfere with information readout.
