✦ Synopsis


This paper describes a noise-reduction technique applicable to multiple-measurement systems. This method, known as measurement-dependent filtering (or MDF), can be used to advantage in a number of MRI applications. We present the general theory for one of these applications, material-canceled projection imaging. We discuss and show the results of MDF for material-canceled images as well as for heavily T2-weighted spin-echo images and computed T2 images. Significant improvements in SNR are demonstrated while spatial resolution is preserved.

## Abstract The physiological noise in the resting brain, which arises from fluctuations in metabolic‐linked brain physiology and subtle brain pulsations, was investigated in six healthy volunteers using oxygenation‐sensitive dual‐echo spiral MRI at 3.0 T. In contrast to the system and thermal nois
