Device, system and method for transforming a diffusion-weighted magnectic resonance image to a patient diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance coordinate space

A device comprises a processor in communication with a display screen and at least one memory that stores an anatomical magnetic resonance (MR) image of a region of a patient, a diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance (DWMR) image of the region of the patient with the anatomical MR image and the DWMR image being in respective bore coordinate-spaces associated with a bore of a magnetic resonance imaging device which acquired the anatomical MR image and the DWMR image of the region together with reference anatomical data associated with the region. The processor is configured to compare the anatomical MR image and the reference anatomical data to determine a first transform of a bore anatomical coordinate-space of the anatomical MR image to a patient anatomical coordinate-space associated with the patient then determine from the first transform, a second transform of a bore DWMR coordinate space of the DWMR image to a patient DWMR coordinate space associated with the patient. It then transforms, using the second transform, the DWMR image to the patient DWMR coordinate space and controls the display screen to render the DWMR image as transformed according to visual attributes associated with the patient DWMR coordinate space.
