Physiological 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 کاملEffect of Physiological noise on Thoraco-Lumbar spinal cord fMRI in 3T Magnetic field
Introduction: Functional MRI methods have been used to study sensorimotor processing in the brain and the Spinal cord. However, these techniques confront unwanted contributions to the measured signal from physiological fluctuations. For the spinal cord imaging, most of the challenges are consequences of cardiac and respiratory movement artifacts that are considered as signifi...
متن کاملNoise-facilitated GRAPPA reconstruction for fMRI
Introduction Parallel imaging has been widely used in MRI for scan time reduction and spatial resolution improvement. Concomitant with these advantages is the potential for higher noise and artifact levels. Various regularization techniques have been proposed to mitigate this problem. In this work, a new regularization method, namely adding noise to GRAPPA auto-calibration signal (ACS) data, an...

متن کاملCharacterization of artifacts and noise enhancement introduced by GRAPPA reconstructions
Introduction: The g-factor map, defined for parallel imaging reconstructions using the SENSE algorithm [1], provides a spatial map of noise enhancement introduced by the SENSE matrix inversion. This map may be used to predict image reconstruction performance or the suitability of a particular receive coil array for accelerated imaging. However in some applications the GRAPPA technique [2] is ad...
