[MINC-users] rawtominc & nu_correct difficulties

[Andrew Janke]

> looking at the data, it appears that much of the inhomogeneity is concentrated at the sides. Moreover, I only know the resolution of the image, and don't have any info about the field strength involved. Would it be appropriate to estimate the distance based on the span the locally bright area? Currently, despite converting to short, there doesn't seem to be an effect.

Hi again Michel,

First I would reccomend that you only correct within mask that does
not include the white border. N3 uses histogram sharpening and I
suspect that the histogram will be swamped with a very large "white"
or high value peak.

Also with the white border saturated I suspect that it would throw the
correction off anyhow given that there is no inhomogeneity information
left in there.

As for the distance, from a look at the data I would start with a
distance of about 1/2 - 1/3 of the width of the image given what
appears to be wavelength in the picture.  Of course you would be far
better of to know thie field strength! :)
