Abstract
This study analyzes the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in magnetic resonance imaging. The factors that determine the SNR are derived starting from basic principles. The SNR, for a given object, is shown to be proportional to the voxel volume and the square root of the acquisition time. The noise generated by the body is derived using a cylindrical model and is shown to be proportional to the square of the radius and the square root of the length.Mesh:
