Patent ID: 7902824

Claim:
A method for transforming a distortion-corrected magnetic resonance image, generated on the basis of an original magnetic resonance measured image acquired by a magnetic resonance system into an equivalent measured image, the method, carried out for individual pixels defined in an image raster of the distortion-corrected magnetic resonance image, comprising: determining field inhomogeneity values, using one or more processors, of the magnetic resonance system at a location of a relevant pixel; calculating displacement, using one or more of the processors, of the relevant pixel on the basis of the determined field inhomogeneity values; determining a distorted area, using one or more of the processors, of the relevant pixel on the basis of the determined field inhomogeneity values; determining an overlap, using one or more of the processors, of the determined distorted area of the relevant pixel with areas of pixels defined in an image raster of the equivalent measured image; and splitting an intensity value, using one or more of the processors, of the relevant pixel of the distortion-corrected magnetic resonance image between the pixels of the equivalent measured image in accordance with the determined overlap.
