MRI Bias Field Correction
Filtering:MRIBiasFieldCorrection
This module enables the user to get a fast preview of the Bias Field Correction applied on a 2D slice. The advantage of this preview is to try different parameters and visualize the effect in real time.
A Command Line version of this module has been developed to enable the Slicer3 Testing framework. Hence this module is tested during every Nightly build and the result is reported in the Slicer3 Dashboard.

Module Description
The module filters the image to remove the intensity inhomogeneity due to the MRI image acquisition.
Usage
- Load the input dataset (Main menu: Add Volume)
- Create a Mask Volume using the Editor (Modules > Editor) (the Threshold tool should give a good result)
- Select the MRIBiasFieldCorrection module (Modules > Filtering > MRIBiasFieldCorrection)
- In the left panel, select the Input Volume
- Select the Mask Volume
- In the Preview Volume menu , select 'Create New Volume'
- Do the same for the Output Volume menu
- Modify the parameter values if desired (default values gave good results during our experiments)
- Click on Apply
It took 32 min to process a 512x512x30 MRI volume on a MacBook laptop.
