Multi-slice 2D MR imaging: automatic assessment of image quality
Abstract
We describe a method for the automatic quality assessment of multi-slice 2D MRIs with FLAIR, T2, or PD contrast. Quality measures are derived by analyzing the air background, which can be used to sensitively detect typical motion artifacts. Validated on 422 brain datasets, quality indices agree with expert ratings with high sensitivity and specificity (>85%). This technique can greatly improve clinical workflow, suggesting when to repeat low-quality scans, thus increasing chances for higher diagnosis accuracy.

Quality management
Quality management ensures that an organization, product or service consistently functions well. It has four main components: quality planning, quality assurance, quality control and quality improvement. Quality management is focused not only on product and service quality, but also on the means to achieve it. Quality management, therefore, uses quality assurance and control of processes as well as products to achieve more consistent quality. Quality control is also part of quality management.
Quality (business)
In business, engineering, and manufacturing, quality – or high quality – has a pragmatic interpretation as the non-inferiority or superiority of something (goods or services); it is also defined as being suitable for the intended purpose (fitness for purpose) while satisfying customer expectations. Quality is a perceptual, conditional, and somewhat subjective attribute and may be understood differently by different people. Consumers may focus on the specification quality of a product/service, or how it compares to competitors in the marketplace.
Quality assurance
Quality assurance (QA) is the term used in both manufacturing and service industries to describe the systematic efforts taken to assure that the product(s) delivered to customer(s) meet with the contractual and other agreed upon performance, design, reliability, and maintainability expectations of that customer. The core purpose of Quality Assurance is to prevent mistakes and defects in the development and production of both manufactured products, such as automobiles and shoes, and delivered services, such as automotive repair and athletic shoe design.
