Noise figure limits for circular loop MR coils.
Circular loops are the most common MR detectors. Loop arrays offer improved signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) and spatial resolution, and enable parallel imaging. As loop size decreases, loop noise increases relative to sample noise, ultimately dominating the SNR. Here, relative noise contributions from the sample and the coil are quantified by a coil noise figure (NF), NF(coil), which adds to the ...
متن کاملCircular Mean Filtering For Textures Noise Reduction
In this paper, a special preprocessing operations (filter) is proposed to decrease the effects of noise of textures. This filter using average of circular neighbor points (Cmean) to reduce noise effect. Comparing this filter with other average filters such as square mean filter and square median filter indicates that it provides more noise reduction and increases the classification accuracy...
متن کاملValidation of Noise Figure Measurements by Means of MR Imaging
Introduction In order to maximize the signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) performance of an MR receiver coil the preamplifier used should add as little noise as possible. The amount of added noise is characterized by its noise figure (NF). Standard NF measurement of a preamplifier requires a tuner to present reference noise at varying complex impedance to the input of the device. Such tuners are not co...
متن کاملAn Enhanced Median Filter for Removing Noise from MR Images
In this paper, a novel decision based median (DBM) filter for enhancing MR images has been proposed. The method is based on eliminating impulse noise from MR images. A median-based method to remove impulse noise from digital MR images has been developed. Each pixel is leveled from black to white like gray-level. The method is adjusted in order to decide whether the median operation can be appli...
متن کاملEccentric figure-eight coils for transcranial magnetic stimulation.
Previously we proposed an eccentric figure-eight coil that can cause threshold stimulation in the brain at lower driving currents. In this study, we performed numerical simulations and magnetic stimulations to healthy subjects for evaluating the advantages of the eccentric coil. The simulations were performed using a simplified spherical brain model and a realistic human brain model. We found t...
