Abstract: Methods and systems for processing a digital magnetic resonance (MR) image volume in an image data set using intensity standardization to provide standardized MR image slices are described which generally involve determining an image volume scaling factor to align an image volume landmark of a volume histogram of the digital MR image volume with a reference volume landmark of a reference histogram of a reference image volume; and scaling intensity values of the digital MR image volume based on the image volume scaling factor to generate a scaled digital MR image volume. Methods and systems are also described for generating standardized image slices that can be used in various MR image processing methodologies such as image segmentation and object detection.
