Some things to try:

1. Change the monitor refresh rate. This won't stop the radiation but 
it may move it to a frequency that does not interfere.

2. How far is the antenna from the monitor? Can you move it farther?

3. Get a flat panel type monitor. This is generally the best 
solution, unfortunately. ($$$)
