A simple and fast algorithm for assessment of DTI spike noise based on the background signal was implemented and applied to more than 1500 data sets. The determined quality measure was used as indicator for hardware issues and correlated to recorded incidents in the past. We found that all relevant hardware problems which forward spike noise had have been detected using this approach.
