Renormalization method for inhomogeneity correction of MR images

A correction method for inhomogeneity of magnetic resonance (MR) images was developed based on renormalization transformation. It is a post-processing algorithm on images. Unlike previous post-processing methods, which need to determine either a filter size or a free adjustable parameter for different applications, this presented method is fully automated. Tests on physical phantom data, patients' brain and neck MR images were presented.
