Patent ID: 8908884

Claim:
A system for processing signals to enhance user selected signal audibility in an MRI environment generating at least one MRI audible pulse, the system comprising: at least one signal dataset, the at least one signal dataset comprising a plurality of signals; a program storage device readable by the system, wherein the program storage device tangibly embodies a program of instructions executable by the system to modify the at least one signal dataset, wherein modifying the at least one signal dataset comprises: measuring an acoustic power spectrum associated with the at least one MRI audible pulse; identifying at least one principal frequency component associated with the at least one MRI audible pulse exceeding a predetermined acoustic power level; substantially matching the at least one principal frequency component associated with the at least one MRI audible pulse exceeding a predetermined acoustic power level with at least one of the plurality of signals; and applying audio equalization to the at least one of the plurality of signals substantially matched to the at least one principal frequency component associated with the at least one MRI audible pulse exceeding a predetermined acoustic power level.
