Abstract
A training module is used to produce a database that stores histogram landmarks for MR images acquired with different scan parameters such as TR, TE flip angle and inversion recovery time. This database is used by a transformation module which enables an MR image acquired at one prescribed set of scan parameters to be transformed into MR images that simulate MR images acquired with different scan parameters.
