    Image quality in Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging is significantly impacted by matrix size and the number of acquisitions. These technical factors are crucial and must be considered when evaluating MR image quality.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology and Medical Imaging
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging is a vital diagnostic tool.
    • Optimizing MR image quality is essential for accurate diagnosis.
    • Various technical parameters can influence subjective image quality ratings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the subjective impact of key technical parameters on MR image quality.
    • To identify which parameters have the most significant effect on perceived image quality.

    Main Methods:

    • Systematic variation of field strength, slice thickness, number of acquisitions, and matrix size.
    • Subjective rating of MR image quality by observers.
    • Statistical analysis to determine the significance of each parameter's effect.

    Main Results:

    • Both matrix size and the number of acquisitions demonstrated the most substantial influence on subjective MR image quality.
    • Variations in field strength and slice thickness had a lesser, though still present, effect.

    Conclusions:

    • Technical parameters, particularly matrix size and number of acquisitions, are critical determinants of MR image quality.
    • Future comparisons and assessments of MR image quality must account for these technical variations to ensure valid conclusions.
