[Abstract] From technical perspective, this article introduces the evaluation methodology of MRI signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) based on National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) standard, Siemens’ evaluation methodology of MRI SNR and other standards. In addition, it figures out the advantage of Siemens' evaluation methodology of MRI SNR in comparison with the evaluation methodology based on NEMA and other standards.
