Abstract

See full text

A method and system in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) medical imaging systems corrects for three-dimensional distortions arising from the apparatus and patient specific distortions using a phantom and a helmet, both of which have fiducial markers in a three-dimensional matrix. The positions of the phantom and helmet fiducial markers are automatically detected and compared in a computer system which uses image transform algorithms to correct for the various distortions.
