Therefore multiple image contrasts are useful for multimodal analysis of medical images. Often, medical image processing algorithms are optimized for particular image contrasts. If a desirable contrast is unavailable, contrast synthesis (or modality synthesis) methods try to "synthesize" the unavailable constrasts from the available ones. Most of the recent image synthesis methods generate synthetic brain images, while whole head magnetic resonance (MR) images can also be useful for many applications. We propose an atlas based patch matching algorithm to synthesize-w whole head (including brain, skull, eyes etc) images from-w images for the purpose of distortion correction of diffusion weighted MR images. The geometric distortion in diffusion MR images due to in-homogeneous...
