Phase Oversampling
 
The data acquisition beyond the FOV in phase encoding direction, with doubling the number of acquisitions and the scan time.

Retrospective Respiratory Gating
 
The resorting of data collected over several acquisitions to create an image where all phase encoding lines are acquired with the object at the same spatial location of the respiratory cycle.

Segmented K-Space Data Acquisition
 
A set of k-space lines collected in a specified order but not constituting a complete coverage of k-space, thus can be used in conjunction with all ultrafast MRI techniques. Several segmental acquisitions may need to be run for complete coverage of k-space. If these lines are recorded for a single rather than multiple images, imaging time can be shortened considerably maintaining an acceptable temporal resolution.
For example, rapidly acquiring eight k-space lines per segment after each trigger until 128 lines of k-space are acquired in 16 triggers, thus makes image acquisition of multiple cardiac phases or anatomical slices possible in a breath-hold.

Signal to Noise Ratio
 
(SNR or S/N) The signal to noise ratio is used in MRI to describe the relative contributions to a detected signal of the true signal and random superimposed signals ('background noise') - a criterion for image quality.
One common method to increase the SNR is to average several measurements of the signal, on the expectation that random contributions will tend to cancel out. The SNR can also be improved by sampling larger volumes (increasing the field of view and slice thickness with a corresponding loss of spatial resolution) or, within limits, by increasing the strength of the magnetic field used. Surface coils can also be used to improve local signal intensity. The SNR will depend, in part, on the electrical properties of the sample or patient being studied. The SNR increases in proportion to voxel volume (1/resolution), the square root of the number of acquisitions (NEX), and the square root of the number of scans (phase encodings). SNR decreases with the field of view squared (FOV2) and wider bandwidths. See also Signal Intensity and Spin Density.

Measuring SNR:
Record the mean value of a small ROI placed in the most homogeneous area of tissue with high signal intensity (e.g. white matter in thalamus). Calculate the standard deviation for the largest possible ROI placed outside the object in the image background (avoid ghosting/aliasing or eye movement artifact regions).
The SNR is then:
