"Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is a generic term which, in radiology, is a measure of true signal (i.e. reflecting actual anatomy) to noise (e.g. random quantum mottle). On MRI the signal-to-noise ratio is measured frequently by calculating the difference in signal intensity between the area of interest and the background (usually chosen from the air surrounding the object)."

Line 1:43 · Use parentheses judiciously. There are at least 3 sets in this paragraph.
