Review of Intensity Inhomogeneity Correction Methods for Brain Mri Images
نویسنده
چکیده
Intensity inhomogeneity is a smooth intensity change inside originally homogeneous regions. The intensity inhomogeneity degrades performance of image processing algorithms. Intensity inhomogeneity correction methods are important image processing algorithms which are used to reduce the inhomogeneity. Brain image intensity inhomogeneity correction is one of the most important parts of clinical diagnostic tools. Brain images mostly contain inhomogeneity. Therefore, accurate process of brain images is a very difficult task. However, accurate process of these images is very important and crucial for a correct diagnosis by clinical tools. A review of intensity inhomogeneity correction methods for brain MRI images is presented. The review covers methods for intensity inhomogeneity correction and their comparative evaluations based on reported results.

Introduction: Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging has emerged as a valuable tool in radiation treatment (RT) planning as well as Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging owing to its superior soft-tissue contrast. Due to the fact that there is no direct transformation from voxel intensity in MR images into electron density, itchr('39')s crucial to generate a pseudo-CT (Computed Tomography) image ...

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...
