Diffusion-weighted (DW) magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) suffers from a lower signal to noise ratio (SNR) compared to conventional MRS owing to the addition of diffusion attenuation. This technique can therefore strongly benefit from…
Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) utilizes MRI signal phase to infer estimates of local tissue magnetism (magnetic susceptibility), which has been shown useful to provide novel image contrast and as biomarkers of abnormal tissue.…
The signal to noise ratio (SNR) fundamentally limits the information accessible by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This limitation has been addressed by a host of denoising techniques, recently including so-called MPPCA: Principal…
PURPOSE: Multi-exponential relaxometry is a powerful tool for characterizing tissue, but generally requires high image signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). This work evaluates the use of principal-component-analysis (PCA) denoising to mitigate…
In the human brain, essential iron molecules for proper neurological functioning exist in transferrin (tf) and ferritin (Fe3) forms. However, its unusual increment manifests iron overload, which reacts with hydrogen peroxide. This reaction…
Diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) at high b-values often suffers from low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), making image quality poor. Marchenko-Pastur PCA (MPPCA) is a popular method to reduce noise, but it uses a fixed patch size across the whole…
MP-PCA denoising has become the method of choice for denoising in MRI since it provides an objective threshold to separate the desired signal from unwanted thermal noise components. In rodents, thermal noise in the coils is an important…
