 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 19 MR image quality and relevance of imaging parameters and control measures Author: Zhang Bin Su Lijuan Jin Baorong Keywords: MR image Abstract: The systematic study of the MR images of various quality indicators and the relevance of a variety of imaging parameters and control measures. Keywords:: MR image quality; imaging parameters; relevance; Control Measures Affect the magnetic resonance imaging (magnetic resonance imaging, MRI) image quality factors are two major categories, and one from the biological tissue types and physiological and biochemical characteristics (such as T1, T2, ρ, chemical shift, physical movement, adjacent to the organization The location, size), physical characteristics (such as the magnetic permeability, iron, protein, blood flavin content, etc.) decided, known as internal factors. The other is controlled by the people to choose, called external factors, most notably a pulse sequence type; pulse time parameters: repetition time (repetition time, TR), echo time (echo time, TE) and inversion time ( time of inversion, TI); paramagnetic contrast agents and the deflection angle excitation pulse. These four kinds of external factors that are usually referred to as the pulse sequence on image quality. Measure of image quality indicators are mainly SNR (signal noise ratio, SNR), contrast-noise ratio (contrastnoise ratio, CNR), spatial resolution and scanning time. In the MRI examination, only to master a variety of MR imaging parameters and image quality of the various indicators of relevance, and reasonably be controlled in order to obtain reliable, high-quality MR images. 1 SNR Image noise is a kind of superimposed on the MR signal of the random interference components, the main source, there are two, one is from stimulated tissue noise, the second is from the receiving circuit of the electrical noise. Patients are present for each noise can occur at any frequency, at any ti
