Physics
Noise in MRI is created by the fluctuation of voltage from 2 main sources which
are independent of the magnitude of the magnetization and follow a gaussian
distribution with zero mean :
- Patient
- Electronic
Thus the noise observed in the k-space also follow an uncorrelated zero mean gaussian distribution
in both imaginary and real component with a standard deviation $\sigma_G$ :
