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

A computing device: compares an anatomical magnetic resonance (MR) image of a patient region and reference anatomical data associated with the region 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; determines, from the first transform, a second transform of a bore DWMR coordinate space of a DWMR image to a patient DWMR coordinate space associated with the patient, the anatomical and the DWMR images being in respective bore coordinate spaces associated with a bore of an MR device which acquired the anatomical and the DWMR images; transforms, using the second transform, the DWMR image to the patient DWMR coordinate space; and controls a display screen to render the DWMR image, as transformed, according to visual attributes associated with the patient DWMR coordinate space.
