  2. Signal-to-noise ratio (imaging) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal-to-noise_ratio...

    Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is used in imaging to characterize image quality.The sensitivity of a (digital or film) imaging system is typically described in the terms of the signal level that yields a threshold level of SNR.

  3. Contrast-to-noise ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrast-to-noise_ratio

    Contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) [1] is a measure used to determine image quality. CNR is similar to the metric signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), but subtracts a term before taking the ratio. This is important when there is a significant bias in an image, such as from haze. [ 2 ]

  4. Image noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_noise

    Image noise can also originate in film grain and in the unavoidable shot noise of an ideal photon detector. Image noise is an undesirable by-product of image capture that obscures the desired information. Typically the term “image noise” is used to refer to noise in 2D images, not 3D images.

  5. Detective quantum efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detective_quantum_efficiency

    This value is used primarily to describe imaging detectors in optical imaging and medical radiography. In medical radiography, the DQE describes how effectively an x-ray imaging system can produce an image with a high signal-to-noise ratio relative to an ideal detector.

  6. MRI artifact - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MRI_artifact

    RF pulses and precessional frequencies of MRI instruments occupy the same frequency bandwidth as common sources such as TV, radio, fluorescent lights and computers. Stray RF signals can cause various artifacts. Narrow-band noise is projected perpendicular to the frequency- encoding direction. Broadband noise disrupts the image over a much ...

  7. Spectral imaging (radiography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_imaging_(radiography)

    Spectral imaging is an umbrella term for energy-resolved X-ray imaging in medicine. [1] The technique makes use of the energy dependence of X-ray attenuation to either increase the contrast-to-noise ratio, or to provide quantitative image data and reduce image artefacts by so-called material decomposition.

  8. Flat-field correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat-field_correction

    In X-ray computed tomography (CT), fixed-pattern noise is known to significantly degrade the achievable spatial resolution and generally leads to ring or band artifacts in the reconstructed images. Fixed pattern noise can be easily removed using flat field correction.

  9. Kinetic imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_imaging

    The diagnostic value of radiographic images is limited by image quality, which can be measured through signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) calculations. The higher the value of SNR, the better the image. The SNR can be increased initially by enhancing the "signal" or "contrast", which is the intensity difference between the object of interest and the ...
