[Freesurfer] MRI artifacts detection

Dear FS experts, I'm studying the most common artifacts on MRI scanning. I started with the SNR calculation (which is included in recent FS versions), but I'm afraid that these artifact is filtered/processed with the scanner control program, and I'm wasting time trying to calculate this ratio.
