We propose a noise analysis method based on complex MRI signals. By actively inducing concomitant fluctuation into a single complex MR image, an abrupt change in a predefined signal function (e.g. signal ratio) is observed when signal intensity becomes stronger than background noise. The method is very sensitive to the existence of weak signal such as tissue-background boundaries or very low signal tissues, and can be used to semi-quantitatively distinghuish regions of signal and noise.
How to access this content:
For one year after publication, abstracts and videos are only open to registrants of this annual meeting. Registrants should use their existing login information. Non-registrant access can be purchased via the ISMRM E-Library.
After one year, current ISMRM & ISMRT members get free access to both the abstracts and videos. Non-members and non-registrants must purchase access via the ISMRM E-Library.
After two years, the meeting proceedings (abstracts) are opened to the public and require no login information. Videos remain behind password for access by members, registrants and E-Library customers.
