On Signal to Noise Ratio Tradeoffs in fMRI
When planning an fMRI experiment, it is desirable to optimize the SNR to maximize the statistical return on scan time investment. At first glance, the tradeoffs may seem unclear. As more slices are acquired, the TR needed to fit in the slices increases linearly. With longer TR the flip angle and degree of magnetization recovery between pulses both increase, leading to higher signal. However, at...
متن کاملPhysiological noise and signal-to-noise ratio in fMRI with multi-channel array coils
Sensitivity in BOLD fMRI is characterized by the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the time-series (tSNR), which contains fluctuations from thermal and physiological noise sources. Alteration of an acquisition parameter can affect the tSNR differently depending on the relative magnitude of the physiological and thermal noise, therefore knowledge of this ratio is essential for optimizing fMRI acqui...
متن کاملOn the Definition of Signal-To-Noise Ratio and Contrast-To-Noise Ratio for fMRI Data
Signal-to-noise ratio, the ratio between signal and noise, is a quantity that has been well established for MRI data but is still subject of ongoing debate and confusion when it comes to fMRI data. fMRI data are characterised by small activation fluctuations in a background of noise. Depending on how the signal of interest and the noise are identified, signal-to-noise ratio for fMRI data is rep...
متن کاملAttention Extracts Signal in External Noise: A BOLD fMRI Study
On the basis of results from behavioral studies that spatial attention improves the exclusion of external noise in the target region, we predicted that attending to a spatial region would reduce the impact of external noise on the BOLD response in corresponding cortical areas, seen as reduced BOLD responses in conditions with large amounts of external noise but relatively low signal, and increa...
متن کاملSignal and noise of Fourier reconstructed fMRI data.
In magnetic resonance imaging, complex-valued measurements are acquired in time corresponding to spatial frequency measurements in space generally placed on a Cartesian rectangular grid. These complex-valued measurements are transformed into a measured complex-valued image by an image reconstruction method. The most common image reconstruction method is the inverse Fourier transform. It is know...
