Description of the Book:

We evaluate a combined discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and wavelet packet algorithm to improve the homogeneity of magnetic resonance imaging when a surface coil is used for reception. The proposed algorithm estimates the spatial sensitivity profile of the surface coil from the original anatomical image and uses this information to normalize the image intensity variations. Estimation of the coil sensitivity profile based on the wavelet transform of the original image data is found to provide a robust method for removing the slowly varying spatial sensitivity pattern
