Abstract
A magnetic resonance (MR) system and method for determing absolute image intensities (MR numbers) comparable to 'CT' numbers by removing the dependence of the intensity measurement on system dependent parameters. The dependence of the intensity measurement on system parameters is removed by determining the absolute gain of the receiver portion of the MR system. The absolute gain is a function of the loaded gain and the unloaded gain of the receiver system, the loaded gain is divided by the unloaded gain to provide a normalization factor which is multiplied by output data to provide the absolute values of intensity of absolute MR numbers.
