To provide an optimal basis for automatic tissue
segmentation and enhancement of visual inspection of the
magnitude images, we propose an anatomic-supported,
reliable and fast algorithm for mitigation of intensity
inhomogeneities resulting from modern array coils and
dielectric effects. The skeletal musculature consisting
of different muscle groups separated by fascia is
considered as reference. This method is a generalization
of the previous method, by making it applicable to
different image orientations, T1-weighted and
fat-suppressed images. Performance in terms of the mean
coefficient of the variance of the muscle tissues is
compared with local entropy minimization with bi-cubic
spline model (LEMS).
