Abstract

Assessment of the signal-to-noise ratio as a control parameter for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems is addressed. Experimental data were used to run a statistical analysis of noise components. Use of a multichannel radio-frequency receiver coil and determination of the coefficient of correction provided the basis of a method for assessing the signal-to-noise ratio of MRI scans.
