Zusammenfassung: | The performance of the eigenimage filter is compared with those of several other filters as applied to magnetic resonance image (MRI) scene sequences for image enhancement and segmentation. Comparisons are made with principal component analysis, matched, modified-matched, maximum contrast, target point, ratio, log-ratio, and angle image filters. Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), segmentation of a desired feature (SDF), and correction for partial volume averaging effects (CPV) are used as performance measures. For comparison, analytical expressions for SNRs and CNRs of filtered images are derived, and CPV by a linear filter is studied. Properties of filters are illustrated through their applications to simulated and acquired MRI sequences of a phantom study and a clinical case; advantages and weaknesses are discussed. The conclusion is that the eigenimage filter is the optimal linear filter that achieves SDF and CPV simultaneously.< > |
