Noise SNR and CNR Types of noise Thermal noise SNR - definitions Physiological Artifacts Thermal noise Averaging Bandwidth SNR - definitions Noise

SNR: why do we care? Typical BOLD contrast: 1% change Typical image SNR: 100:1 Typical CNR: 1! Noise

SNR: why do we care? Temporal averaging beats down noise: Noise

SNR: why do we care? Doubling SNR (CNR) = 4X reduction in scan time Noise

Types of noise Thermal Physiological noise Artifacts Random fluctuations in current in receive coil, amplifier … Spatially independent Physiological noise Respiration Cardiac Vasomotor Uncontrolled cognitive factors Artifacts Spikes Fluctuations in Nyquist ghost Segmentation ghosts Motion Noise
