MRI images can contain intensity inhomogeneity in space
because of various reasons. Recent progress in MRI
technologies such as multi reception/transmission of RF
and ultra-high-field MRI systems has made this problem
even more serious. Although many types of algorithms
have been proposed and evaluated to deal with the
problem, so far there has been no perfect solution. We
developed a robust algorithm to correct intensity
inhomogeneity of MRI signals without relying on
additional scans. It was demonstrated that our newly
proposed algorithm is very robust and corrects MRI
images with inhomogeneous intensity satisfactorily.
