Intensity Inhomogeneity Correction of Structural MR Images: A Data-Driven Approach to Define Input Algorithm Parameters
Intensity non-uniformity (INU) in magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is a major issue when conducting analyses of brain structural properties. An inaccurate INU correction may result in qualitative and quantitative misinterpretations. Several INU correction methods exist, whose performance largely depend on the specific parameter settings that need to be chosen by the user. Here we addressed the q...
متن کاملCorrection of differential intensity inhomogeneity in longitudinal MR images.
Longitudinal MR imaging is increasingly being used to measure cerebral atrophy progression in dementia and other neurological disorders. Differences in intensity inhomogeneity between serial scans can confound these measurements. This differential bias also distorts nonlinear registration and makes both manual and automated segmentation of tissue type less reliable. A technique is described for...
متن کاملCorrection of Dynamic Intensity Inhomogeneity in MR Images
In magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), image intensity inhomogeneity hampers the quantitative analysis, e.g. segmentation or registration. Intensity inhomogeneity is an effect perceived as a smooth variation in intensities across the image. This study provides an efficient, fully automated intensity inhomogeneity correction method that makes no a priori assumptions on the image intensity distribu...
متن کاملJoint Intensity Inhomogeneity Correction for Whole-Body MR Data
Whole-body MR receives increasing interest as potential alternative to many conventional diagnostic methods. Typical whole-body MR scans contain multiple data channels and are acquired in a multistation manner. Quantification of such data typically requires correction of two types of artefacts: different intensity scaling on each acquired image stack, and intensity inhomogeneity (bias) within e...
متن کاملA Review on MR Image Intensity Inhomogeneity Correction
Intensity inhomogeneity (IIH) is often encountered in MR imaging, and a number of techniques have been devised to correct this artifact. This paper attempts to review some of the recent developments in the mathematical modeling of IIH field. Low-frequency models are widely used, but they tend to corrupt the low-frequency components of the tissue. Hypersurface models and statistical models can b...
