is considered false about a coarse matrix.
A course matrix contains a large number of voxelsA coarse matrix has a low number of frequency and phase encode steps
A course matrix increases the signal to noise SNR relative to a fine matrix
All of the above answers are false
QUESTION 11
Decreasing the FOV will decrease the voxel volume size, which will decrease SNR.
True False
QUESTION 12
lDoubling the number of signal averages (NSA, NEX, AQS) will double the SNR
True False
QUESTION 13
A Short Tau Inversion Recovery (STIR) is an ideal sequence for post contrast (GBCA) imaging. True False
