Research on the influence of functional magnetic resonance imaging parameter to the quality of image in brain area / 中国医学装备

ABSTRACT

Objective:To discuss the effect of the choice of brain functional MRI parameter on image quality. Methods:To select nine young volunteers for scanning brain functional MRI from February to December, 2012, and analyze the effect caused by parameters to the image quality. Results:The lower of the b value, the more level 1 image, the less level 3 image;the more of the number of diffusion sensitive gradient direction, the more level 1 image, the less level 3 image. The largest impact on image quality is the interlayer spacing, the number of diffusion sensitive gradient direction and the b value. Conclusion:The factors influencing the quality of brain functional MRI images including the interlayer spacing, the number of diffusion sensitive gradient direction and b value. In the parameter selection process, one should start from diagnostic purposes and weigh the pros and cons with overall consideration.
