Abstract

A method for separating tissue classes in MR images is presented. The method includes acquiring a plurality of magnetic resonance images of a subject with different acquisition parameters and generating a multi-dimensional intensity distribution model from the plurality of magnetic resonance images. The multi-dimensional intensity distribution model represents a distribution of intensities of voxels in each magnetic resonance image of the plurality. The method also includes identifying clusters of correlated intensities in the multi-dimensional intensity distribution model and assigning the clusters into one or more tissue classes based on the correlated intensities of each of the cluster.
