To enhance susceptibility-related contrast of magnetic resonance images, the phase of susceptibility weighted data needs to be corrected for background inhomogeneities and phase wraps caused by them. Current methods either use homodyne filtering or a combination of phase unwrapping and high pass filtering. The drawback of homodyne filtering is incomplete elimination of phase wraps in areas with steep phase topography produced by background inhomogeneities of the static magnetic field. The disadvantage of phase unwrapping is that it requires subsequent high pass filtering, which introduces artifacts in areas with very steep transitions, such as areas near interfaces between parenchyma and bone or air. A method is proposed that reduces the artifacts associated with high pass filtering without sacrificing the advantages of phase unwrapping. This technique is demonstrated with phantom data at 1.5 T and with human data at 1.5, 3 and 7 T.

D012680 Sensitivity and Specificity Binary classification measures to assess test results. Sensitivity or recall rate is the proportion of true positives. Specificity is the probability of correctly determining the absence of a condition. (From Last, Dictionary of Epidemiology, 2d ed) Specificity,Sensitivity,Specificity and Sensitivity
D015203 Reproducibility of Results The statistical reproducibility of measurements (often in a clinical context), including the testing of instrumentation or techniques to obtain reproducible results. The concept includes reproducibility of physiological measurements, which may be used to develop rules to assess probability or prognosis, or response to a stimulus; reproducibility of occurrence of a condition; and reproducibility of experimental results.

D016477 Artifacts Any visible result of a procedure which is caused by the procedure itself and not by the entity being analyzed. Common examples include histological structures introduced by tissue processing, radiographic images of structures that are not naturally present in living tissue, and products of chemical reactions that occur during analysis. Artefacts,Artefact,Artifact
D021621 Imaging, Three-Dimensional The process of generating three-dimensional images by electronic, photographic, or other methods. For example, three-dimensional images can be generated by assembling multiple tomographic images with the aid of a computer, while photographic 3-D images (HOLOGRAPHY) can be made by exposing film to the interference pattern created when two laser light sources shine on an object.
