How Is DB Calculated?

How Is DB Calculated? The dB scale is a logarithmic, unitless scale. It always requires a reference quantity to be related against. The dB is calculated via two different expressions XdB=10log10(XlinXref)orYdB=20log10(YlinYref). If you convert a quantity X that relates to power or energy, the factor is 10. How much louder is 20 dB compared to

What Affects Signal To Noise Ratio?

What Affects Signal To Noise Ratio? The SNR, which is proportional to the square root of the NEX, improves as the NEX increases, but scan time also increases linearly with the NEX. Other parameters affecting the SNR are the sequence used, echo time (TE), repetition time (TR), and the flip angle. What increases signal-to-noise ratio?
