Final answer:

When the parameter increases, spatial resolution improves, while SNR and acquisition time are affected negatively. FOV decreases, slice thickness decreases, and image matrix decreases.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the parameter increases, the spatial resolution (SR) typically improves, while the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and acquisition time are usually affected negatively.

FOV, or field of view, refers to the size of the area that can be imaged. An increase in the parameter tends to decrease the FOV, resulting in a smaller area being captured by the imaging device.

Slice thickness is the thickness of each slice that is imaged. In most cases, an increase in the parameter will decrease the slice thickness.

Image matrix refers to the number of pixels in the image. In general, an increase in the parameter will decrease the image matrix, resulting in a lower resolution.
