Abstract:
An ultrasound transducer for use in a magnetic resonance system is provided with an RF shield formed of electrically conductive material and having an interior cavity configured to receive the ultrasound transducer therein. The RF shield substantially precludes coupling between the ultrasound transducer, and any coupling medium that is employed, and the transmission and reception coils of the magnetic resonance system.
