Bias Field Correction of Breast MR Images
We present a method to automatically estimate and remove the bias eld of MR images where there is a single dominant tissue class. Assuming that a multi-class image is corrupted by a multiplicative, lowfrequency bias eld, the method evaluates the bias eld on a single tissue class, and extends it to the whole image. The algorithm works iteratively, interleaving tissue class domain and bias eld es...
متن کاملSegmentation of Brain MR Images with Bias Field Correction
We consider a statistical model-based approach to the segmentation of magnetic resonance (MR) images with bias field correction. The proposed method of penalized maximum likelihood is implemented via the expectationconditional maximization (ECM) algorithm, using an approximation to the E-step based on a fractional weight version of the iterated conditional modes (ICM) algorithm. A Markov random...
متن کاملBias Field Correction for MRI Images
Bias field signal is a low-frequency and very smooth signal that corrupts MRI images specially those produced by old MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) machines. Image processing algorithms such as segmentation, texture analysis or classification that use the graylevel values of image pixels will not produce satisfactory results. A pre-processing step is needed to correct for the bias field signa...
متن کاملExploiting Voxel Correlation for Automated MRI Bias Field Correction by Conditional Entropy Minimization
An unsupervised model-based strategy for bias field correction is proposed. We assume that information (in the sense of the information theory) in the corrupted image is greater than that in the uncorrupted one. The method exploits the fact that neighboring voxels are highly correlated to correct the bias field using a linear model.
متن کاملEvaluation of performance metrics for bias field correction in MR brain images.
PURPOSE To investigate inconsistencies between common performance measures for bias field correction reported in several recent studies and propose a solution. MATERIALS AND METHODS A set of synthetic images of a normal brain from the Montréal Simulated Brain Database (SBD) was processed using two bias field correction algorithms. The parameters of these algorithms were varied and the resulti...
