Ultimate intrinsic signal-to-noise ratio in MRI.
A method to calculate the ultimate intrinsic signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in a magnetic resonance experiment for a point inside an arbitrarily shaped object is presented. The ultimate intrinsic SNR is determined by body noise. A solution is obtained by optimizing the electromagnetic field to minimize total power deposition while maintaining a constant right-hand circularly polarized component of...
متن کاملAnalytic expressions for the ultimate intrinsic signal-to-noise ratio and ultimate intrinsic specific absorption rate in MRI.
The ultimate intrinsic signal-to-noise ratio is the highest possible signal-to-noise ratio, and the ultimate intrinsic specific absorption rate provides the lowest limit of the specific absorption rate for a given flip angle distribution. Analytic expressions for ultimate intrinsic signal-to-noise ratio and ultimate intrinsic specific absorption rate are obtained for arbitrary sample geometries...
متن کاملHigh signal-to-noise ratio observations and the ultimate limits of precision pulsar timing
We demonstrate that the sensitivity of high-precision pulsar timing experiments will be ultimately limited by the broadband intensity modulation that is intrinsic to the pulsar’s stochastic radio signal. That is, as the peak flux of the pulsar approaches that of the system equivalent flux density, neither greater antenna gain nor increased instrumental bandwidth will improve timing precision. T...
متن کاملA Closed-Form Expression for Ultimate Intrinsic Signal-to-Noise Ratio in MRI
INTRODUCTION In magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), an increase in signal to noise ratio (SNR) provides higher quality images, making diagnosis easier, thus it should be maximized. The main noise sources in an MRI experiment are classified as preamplifier, coil and body noises. Preamplifier noise is small when ultra-low-noise amplifiers (ULNA) are utilized. Coil noise is also small in most applic...
متن کاملEffect of signal to noise ratio on the speech perception ability of older adults
Background: Speech perception ability depends on auditory and extra-auditory elements. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is an extra-auditory element that has an effect on the ability to normally follow speech and maintain a conversation. Speech in noise perception difficulty is a common complaint of the elderly. In this study, the importance of SNR magnitude as an extra-auditory effect on speech...
