Bias Field Correction of Breast MR Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 estimation using B-spline.

Quantitative Comparison of SPM, FSL, and Brainsuite for Brain MR Image Segmentation
Background: Accurate brain tissue segmentation from magnetic resonance (MR) images is an important step in analysis of cerebral images. There are software packages which are used for brain segmentation. These packages usually contain a set of skull stripping, intensity non-uniformity (bias) correction and segmentation routines. Thus, assessment of the quality of the segmented gray matter (GM), ...

The true MR signal intensity extracted from noisy MR magnitude images is biased with the Rician noise caused by noise rectification in the magnitude calculation for low intensity pixels. This noise is more problematic when a quantitative analysis is performed based on the magnitude images with low SNR(<3.0). In such cases, the received signal for both the real and imaginary components will fluc...
متن کاملTemplate-based bias correction: Application to paediatric brain MRI
INTRODUCTION Inhomogeneity of the magnetic field during the acquisition of MR images results in a smooth variation of intensities within the image referred to as bias field. This artefact complicates not only the further processing of the images, such as tissue segmentation or registration, but also affects visual assessment if the intensity variation becomes very pronounced. Modern MR scanners...
متن کاملMethod for bias field correction of brain T1-weighted magnetic resonance images minimizing segmentation error.
This work presents a new algorithm (nonuniform intensity correction; NIC) for correction of intensity inhomogeneities in T1-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) images. The bias field and a bias-free image are obtained through an iterative process that uses brain tissue segmentation. The algorithm was validated by means of realistic phantom images and a set of 24 real images. The first evaluation p...
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...
