Abstract

A mechanism is provided in a data processing system for automatic determination of b-value difference from diffusion-weighted (DW) images. The mechanism receives a series of images wherein a first image has a first b-value and a second image has an unknown b-value. The mechanism applies a generative adversarial network (GAN) model to estimate a difference between b-values in the series of images. The mechanism determines a b-value for the second image based on the first b-value and the estimated difference between b-values.
