Abstract

Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) is one of the quality control tests for most diagnostic imaging modality, including Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). This study used MRI 1.5T GE Signa Creator type and head coil phantom with variations of Echo Time (TE), Repetition Time (TR), voxel volume and flip angle. 16 data images were obtained from the acquisition process. These images were analyzed using image processing software to calculate the SNR value. It results in four data distribution with the highest value of 36.98 and the lowest value of 32.64. The graphs of voxel volume versus SNR also formed four groups of data with an overall value above SNR baseline value for daily operation.
