PURPOSE To determine whether the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) obtained using a high b-value (2,000 s/mm2) is superior to that using a standard b-value (1,000 s/mm2) for discriminating malignant from normal peripheral tissue in the prostate ...

Signal‐to‐Noise Ratio as a Function of Imaging Parameters [PDF]
AbstractSignal‐to‐Noise Ratio as a Function of Imaging Parameters (Azim Celik, General Electric Company, Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Weili Lin, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, North Carolina). The degree to which noise affects a measurement is generally characterized by the signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR, as measured by the ratio

Exposure-Referred Signal-to-Noise Ratio for Digital Image Sensors [PDF]
The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is a fundamental tool to measure the performance of an image sensor. However, confusions sometimes arise between the two types of SNRs.

The Application of Contrast-Enhanced 3D-STIR-VISTA MR Imaging of the Brachial Plexus
Objective: To introduce contrast-enhanced 3D-STIR-VISTA sequence that would improve the image quality for the brachial plexus imaging and enhance the contrast between the brachial plexus and surrounding tissues.
