Signal-to-noise ratio comparison between surface coils and implanted coils.
The signal-to-noise ration (SNR) from implanted coils is widely known to be superior to that from surface coils. This article addresses the quantitative aspects of this improvement by explicitly evaluating the magnetic vector potential in a conducting medium of finite extent for both implanted and surface coils. The predictions of the model are tested with actual image data from spin warp exper...
متن کاملPhysiological noise and signal-to-noise ratio in fMRI with multi-channel array coils
Sensitivity in BOLD fMRI is characterized by the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the time-series (tSNR), which contains fluctuations from thermal and physiological noise sources. Alteration of an acquisition parameter can affect the tSNR differently depending on the relative magnitude of the physiological and thermal noise, therefore knowledge of this ratio is essential for optimizing fMRI acqui...
متن کاملA Simplified Procedure for Remote Tuning Local MRI Coils for Maximum Signal-to-Noise Ratio
INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this work is to develop a simple method to achieve the best signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for a surface coil without the required use of a network analyzer and do so when the coil is under load inside the magnet. In our lab, before imaging, a local coil was connected to the S11 input of a network analyzer and tuned to the resonance at 50 ohm impedance. When remote vol...
متن کاملSignal-to-noise ratio and signal-to-noise efficiency in SMASH imaging.
A general theory of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in simultaneous acquisition of spatial harmonics (SMASH) imaging is presented, and the predictions of the theory are verified in imaging experiments and in numerical simulations. In a SMASH image, multiple lines of k-space are generated simultaneously through combinations of magnetic resonance signals in a radiofrequency coil array. Here, effects ...
متن کاملOptimization of Imaging Parameters in Micro-CT Scanner Based On Signal-To-Noise Ratio for the Analysis of Urinary Stone Composition
Introduction: Micro-CT scanner with a resolution of about 5 micrometers is one of the modalities used to create three-dimensional/two-dimensional images of urinary stones. This study aimed to optimize imaging parameters in micro-computed tomography (CT) scanner based on the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of urinary stones for the analysis of stone composition. <stro...
