SNR and bandwidth relationship
- A.
SNR = change in NEX or new NEX / old NEX
- B.
SNR = sq rt of change in bandwidth or new RBW / old RBW
- C.
SNR = 1/sq rt of change in BW or 1 / (new RBW / old RBW)
- D.
SNR = 1 / sq rt of change in BW or 1 / (old / RBW /new RBW)
Correct Answer
C. SNR = 1/sq rt of change in BW or 1 / (new RBW / old RBW)Explanation
The given answer, "SNR = 1/sq rt of change in BW or 1 / (new RBW / old RBW)", correctly represents the relationship between SNR and the change in bandwidth. It states that SNR is equal to either 1 divided by the square root of the change in bandwidth or 1 divided by the ratio of the new RBW (Resolution Bandwidth) to the old RBW. This equation shows how the SNR is inversely related to the change in bandwidth, meaning that as the bandwidth increases, the SNR decreases, and vice versa. It also demonstrates that the SNR is affected by the ratio of the RBW values, with a higher RBW ratio resulting in a lower SNR.Rate this question:

What is the relationship of slice and SNR?
- A.
SNR = change in slice= new / old
- B.
SNR = Sq rt of change of slice = 1/ (new/old)
- C.
SNR = 1/ sq rt of slice = sq rt of 1 / (new/old)
- D.
SNR = change in slice = old/ new
Correct Answer
A. SNR = change in slice= new / oldExplanation
The given equation SNR = change in slice = new / old suggests that the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is directly proportional to the change in slice and inversely proportional to the ratio of new and old slices. This means that as the change in slice increases, the SNR also increases. Additionally, as the ratio of new and old slices decreases, the SNR increases.Rate this question:

FOV vs. SNR
- A.
SNR = (Old FOV/ new FOV)sq
- B.
SNR = sq rt (old FOV/ new FOV)
- C.
SNR = sq rt of change in FOV= sq rt ( new/old FOV)
- D.
SNR = (new FOV/ old FOV) sq
Correct Answer
D. SNR = (new FOV/ old FOV) sqExplanation
The given equation SNR = (new FOV/ old FOV) sq represents the relationship between the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) and the change in Field of View (FOV). It states that the SNR is equal to the square of the ratio of the new FOV to the old FOV. This means that as the FOV increases, the SNR also increases, and vice versa. The square term indicates that the change in FOV has a quadratic effect on the SNR.Rate this question:

Matrix vs FOV
- A.
SNR = 1/(new phase step/ old phase step)
- B.
SNR = (change in phase step)sq = (old ph/new ph)sq
- C.
SNR= sq rt of change in phase step = 1/ sq rt of (new/old phase)
- D.
SNR 1/ sq rt of change in phase = 1/ sq rt of (old / new)
Correct Answer
A. SNR = 1/(new phase step/ old phase step)Explanation
The given equation represents the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) in terms of the change in phase step. It states that the SNR is equal to the inverse of the ratio of the new phase step to the old phase step. This means that as the phase step decreases (new phase step is smaller than the old phase step), the SNR increases, indicating a higher quality signal with less noise. Conversely, if the new phase step is larger than the old phase step, the SNR decreases, implying a lower quality signal with more noise.Rate this question:

- D.
SNR = (Change in NEX)sq rt = (new/old NEX)sq rt
Correct Answer
D. SNR = (Change in NEX)sq rt = (new/old NEX)sq rtExplanation
The given answer states that SNR is equal to the square root of the change in NEX, which is also equal to the square root of the ratio of the new NEX to the old NEX. This implies that SNR is directly related to the change in NEX and the ratio of the new NEX to the old NEX.Rate this question:

Equation of 3D scan time
Correct Answer
(TR)(NEX)(PE)(SL)Explanation
The equation of 3D scan time is determined by multiplying the TR (repetition time), NEX (number of excitations), PE (phase encoding steps), and SL (number of slices). Each of these factors contributes to the overall scan time in 3D imaging. The TR represents the time between consecutive excitations, NEX determines the number of signal averages, PE indicates the number of phase encoding steps in each direction, and SL represents the number of slices to be acquired. Multiplying these factors together gives the total scan time for a 3D scan.Rate this question:
