Image Noise

A grainy appearance in medical imaging, like a 'static' on your TV.

Noise's Effect

Noise reduces image clarity and makes it harder to distinguish subtle differences.

Cause of Noise

Noise is mainly caused by a lack of signal (photons) in the image.

Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)

A measurement that compares the strength of the signal to the level of noise in an image.
