Abstract

This study was purpose to quantitative evaluation of noise power spectrum(NPS) and studied the quantitative evaluation and characteristics of modulation transfer function(MTF) by obtain the optimal edge image by using Coil in magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) equipment through Fujita theory using edge method. The MRI equipment was used (Tim AVANTO 1.5T, Siemense healthcare system, Germany) and the head matrix coil were 12channels(elements) receive coil. The NPS results of showed the best value of 0.004 based on the T2 Nyquist frequency of $1.0mm^{-1}$, and the MTF results of showed that the T1 and T2 values were generally better than the T1 CE and T1 CE FC values. The characteristics of this study were to explain the characteristic method of image quality evaluation in general. To present the quantitative evaluation process and results in the evaluation of MRI image characteristics in radiology.
