it's not a question of SNR, the problem appears to me to be that the B0 distortions are so bad that a bunch of the temporal lobe is piled up on top of itself. There's no way to fix that posthoc. If you upload the full volume I'm happy to take a look

I'm not engaged in obtaining images, so I don't have any details about the
images.I wonder the method which you commented can be applied to images I
already earned.
If it's not, is there any way to recover SNR after image scanning?

Thanks,

      what is the bandwidth? The typical way to fix it is to increase
      the bandwidth. You can probably recover some of the SNR you will
      lose by reducing your flip angle, which is pretty far from the
      Ernst angle.
      Also, minimize your TE (if 4ms is not already the min)
      cheers

            Hi,
            3D SPGR sequences were used. (TR=22, TE=4,
            thickness=1.4, FOV=240*240,
            FA=40)
            If the artifacts are due to B0 distortion, I wonder
            how I can fix it.

            Thanks,
            Youngmin Huh

                  Can you give us the acquisition details? I
            suspect this is not
                  noise, but rather B0 distortion.
                  what is the acquisition? And what bandwidth?
