MRI Image Enhancement
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of the study is to develop new methods for image processing and enhancement of MRI data. Different setting of acquisition parameters used in conventional clinical MRI protocols will be defined, to create New Protocols. The specific aim of this study is to assess and to improve the performance of our image processing methods, by comparing diagnostic qualities of images obtained by conventional MRI protocols with those obtained by corresponding New Protocols' and processed by our image enhancement method.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Image Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) | Through study completion, an average of 2 months. | Comparing the SNR of images obtained by conventional protocols with the corresponding New Protocols' processed images. The comparison will be performed by neuroradiologists, using a 7-point Likert-scale. Where higher the score, better the outcome (1 means unacceptable and 7 means excellent). |
| Image Resolution | Through study completion, an average of 2 months. | Comparing the resolution of images obtained by conventional protocols with the corresponding New Protocols' processed images. The comparison will be performed by neuroradiologists, using a 7-point Likert-scale. Where higher the score, better the outcome (1 means unacceptable and 7 means excellent). |
| MRI contrast | Through study completion, an average of 2 months. | Comparing MR contrast of images obtained by conventional protocols with the corresponding New Protocols' processed images. The comparison will be performed by neuroradiologists, using a 7-point Likert-scale. Where higher the score, better the outcome (1 means unacceptable and 7 means excellent). |
| Artifacts | Through study completion, an average of 2 months. | Comparing artifacts of images obtained by conventional protocols with the corresponding New Protocols' processed images. The comparison will be performed by neuroradiologists, using a 7-point Likert-scale. Where higher the score, better the outcome (1 means unacceptable and 7 means excellent). |
| Diagnostic quality | Through study completion, an average of 2 months. | Comparing diagnostic quality of images obtained by conventional protocols with the corresponding New Protocols' processed images. The comparison will be performed by neuroradiologists, using a 7-point Likert-scale. Where higher the score, better the outcome (1 means unacceptable and 7 means excellent). |
