fMRI Noise
Scanner noise. Thermal noise – heat generated in the coils
will alter resistance and current flow, which will affect magnetization and will lead to randomly fluctuating noise in the image.
Physiological noise – for example, ionic currents from different parts of the body will add noise to the image.

SNR in fMR Images
If B0 is high transverse magnetic field M0 will have to be high, the SNR will be high.
Voxel volume – the more it is the more protons are there inside, so the stronger the signal is. But point spread function (PSF) and Gibbs phenomenon makes it more complicated.
Total time for imaging.

Point Spread Function and Gibb’s Phenomenon
Buxton, 2009

T2* Time Effect
Since , if acquisition time is increased the SNR will be improved. But we also have .
So acquisition time is bounded above by T2*
relaxation time.

fMRI Artifacts: Scanner Spikes
Poldrack et al., 2011
![Page 7: Functional Brain Signal Processing: EEG & fMRI Lesson 12](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/5681317d550346895d97f6eb/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Ghost Image
Ghost images are associated with EPI and body movements.
Buxton, 2009

Distortion
Poldrack et al., 2011
Distortion happens due to magnetic inhomogeneity at the interface between tissue and air. It happens during EPI (left) acquisition. The above image is corrected (middle) by superposition with the T1 weighted image (right).

Slice Timing Artifact
Poldrack et al., 2011
Not very important and not done in most modern acquisition systems.

Slice Timing Correction

Motion Artifacts

Motion Correction

Motion Correction (cont)
Poldrack et al., 2011
![Page 14: Functional Brain Signal Processing: EEG & fMRI Lesson 12](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/5681317d550346895d97f6eb/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Motion Artifact: Spin History Effect
When the head moves, the protons that move into a voxel from the neighboring voxels have an excitation that is different from that expected by the scanner, and the reconstructed voxel will not accurately reflect the tissue in the voxel.

Heart Motion Artifact
Buxton, 2009
![Page 16: Functional Brain Signal Processing: EEG & fMRI Lesson 12](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/5681317d550346895d97f6eb/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Ionic Motion Artifacts
There are charged ions in motion all over our body and they generate magnetic field, which interferes with the MR imaging.

Off-Resonance Effect or Chemical Shift Effect
H nuclei in fat (lipid) feel slightly different magnetic field than those in water under the same magnetic field strength B0. This is a significant artifact at the boundary between fat and water, but no much in the brain or the grey matter. It is more in EPI than conventional MR imaging.
