Contrast‐to‐noise ratios of diffusion anisotropy indices [PDF]

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, 2005
AbstractThe degree of diffusion anisotropy in different brain regions is usually measured by a diffusion anisotropy index (DAI) such as relative anisotropy (RA) and fractional anisotropy (FA). FA has been reported to have a higher contrast‐to‐noise ratio (CNR) than RA. The present work compares the CNRs of seven DAIs in theoretical propagation‐of‐error

Quantitative Analysis for the Delineation of the Subthalamic Nuclei on Three-Dimensional Stereotactic MRI Before Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery for Medication-Refractory Parkinson’s Disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2022
Delineation of the subthalamic nuclei (STN) on MRI is critical for deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). We propose this retrospective cohort study for quantitative analysis of MR signal-to-noise ratio (SNR ...

Image reconstruction using small-voxel size improves small lesion detection for positron emission tomography

open access: yesRadiology and Oncology, 2022
PET/CT imaging is widely used in oncology and provides both metabolic and anatomic information. Because of the relatively poor spatial resolution of PET, the detection of small lesions is limited.

Objective and efficient terahertz signal denoising by transfer function reconstruction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
As an essential processing step in many disciplines, signal denoising efficiently improves data quality without extra cost. However, it is relatively under-utilized for terahertz spectroscopy.
