High-resolution images typically present lower signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) due to the reduced voxel size. In this work, the BM4D filter was applied to high-resolution MPRAGE images acquired at 7T MRI. Original and denoised images were compared using two different acquisition resolutions: 0.7mm isotropic and 0.54mm isotropic. The method shows good results for higher-resolution images, greatly improving the SNR while keeping the useful clinical information and the small details which are not discerned using the lower-resolution acquisitions.
