Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a magnificent imaging technique in biomedicine that is able to produce high-quality images containing an abundance of physiological, anatomical, and functional information. Such information is often not extracted by visual interpretation of the images alone; digital data from the scanners are generally processed and analyzed in a quantitative way using advanced digital-data-processing tools.
