发明名称 Method for automatic quality control of in-vivo human brain MRI images
摘要 A method for providing quality control assessments in single time-point in vivo magnetic resonance imaging data related to said imaging of objects is proposed, whereby: - at least one in-vivo image of said object is acquired by means of an imaging apparatus, - a background image is defined for corresponding to an imaged air of said in-vivo image, - an object image is defined for corresponding to said in-vivo image from which said background image has been removed, - said background image and said object image are obtained by means of an atlas based registration, - an histogram is provided which reflects an intensity distribution of the background image, - a noise mathematical model is fitted to at least a part of the intensity distribution of the histogram, - characteristics on quality of background is derived from said noise mathematical model, - a further histogram is provided that reflects an intensity distribution of the object image, - a signal mathematical model is filled to intensity distribution of the further histogram, - characteristics on quality of object is derived from said signal mathematical model, - a signal to noise ratio arid a contrast to noise ratio of in-vivo imaging data are automatically derived from said characteristics on quality of object and from said characteristics on quality of background.
