Method and an automatic system for obtaining water content and electric- permittivity maps from magnetic resonance images

摘要

Magnetic resonance images (NMR, MRI) are subjected to quantitative analysis of the water content of individual regions of the images, preferably with treatment of relaxation effects, correction for non- uniformities, and taking account of the possible presence of fat tissue. Respective electric-permittivity values can be generated from the aforementioned water-content maps to produce electric-permittivity maps of the object observed.
