RF interference artifacts. Axial MR images show absence of RF interference artifacts (a) and presence of RF interference artifacts (b). RF noise arising from devices external to the patient or from improper shielding of the MR imaging room results in a characteristic line or band with the appearance of a zipper (hence the alternative term zipper artifact). Removing the source of RF interference will eliminate the artifacts.
