Improving signal-to-noise ratio by maximal convolution of longitudinal and transverse magnetization components in MRI: application to the breast cancer detection

ConclusionBy convolving two orthogonal magnetization vectors, the qualified images with higher new SNR were created, which included the image with the best SNR. In other words, to optimize the adoption of MRI technique and enable the possibility of wider use, an optimal and cost-effective examination has been suggested. Our proposal aims to shorten the MRI examination to further reduce interpretation times while maintaining primary sensitivity.SignificanceOur findings may help to quantitatively identify the primary sources of each type of solid and sequential cancer.Graphical AbstractA new index was defined as full width in a fraction (x) of the maximum value (FWxM) of the MNormalized function that was computed for creating new maps. The derived SNR has been improved at the values ofx from 0.185 to 0.430 (red segment). The maximum-SNR of 22.7 was at the distinct x-parameter index of 0.325.
