The bias field inhomogeneity in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) often makes difficulties for the physicians who interpret and analyze the MR images. One important challenging aspect of the most bias field correction methods is the presence of MRI noise which should be handled. Here, we propose a Bayesian based image reconstruction framework which concurrently corrects for the MRI bias field as well as compensates for MRI noise in the final reconstructed MR image.
