# MR scan quality control

MR scan parameters defining the quality of a MR scan are displayed on this page. The information is available for each NiDB project. This MR scan quality information page can be accessed from project's main page by clicking on the "MR Scan QC" sub-menu as shown below.

The MR scan quality control page shows the following information for each MR scan stored in the corresponding project. These parameters includes:

* **Series Desc. :** Description of the MR scan
* **Params good?** :  Green if parameters are within range. Yellow if criteria is not defined and Red if parameters are out of specified range
* **Files on disk?** : Green if files are found on the specifies location on the disc. Red if the files are found on the specified location.
* **Num Files** : Actual number of files&#x20;
* **Avg Rating** : Average ratings
* **Basic QC** : Red if parameters are out of specification, yellow if limit is not defined and green for within range
* **Disp (X,Y,Z)** : X, Y and Z displacement value
* **Mot(X,Y,Z)** : Motion in X, Y and Z direction.
* **Rot(P,R,Y)** : Rotation pitch, roll and yaw values.
* **SNR** : Signal to noise ratio
* **FD** : Frame-wise Displacement
* **DVARS** : Root mean square of temporal change of the voxel-wise signal at each time point. (D is for temporal derivative of timecourses, VARS refers to RMS variance over voxels.)&#x20;

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.neuroinfodb.org/nidb/tutorials/working-with-imaging-data/mr-scan-quality-control.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
