Abstract:
1. A computer readable storage medium having stored thereon a computer program comprising instructions which when executed by a computer cause the computer to: access a three-dimensional (3D) magnetic resonance (MR) image; apply a 3D filter to the 3D MR image to generate a first set of data and a second set of data, wherein the first set of data comprises a high frequency component and a weak edge component, and wherein the second set of data comprises a low frequency component and a strong edge component; derive an inhomogeneity correction from the second set of data; apply the inhomogeneity correction to the second set of data; and add the first set of data to the inhomogeneity corrected second set of data to create a corrected 3D MR image.
