Harmonizing Flows: Unsupervised MR harmonization based on normalizing flows
In this paper, we propose an unsupervised framework based on normalizing flows that harmonizes MR images to mimic the distribution of the source domain. The proposed framework consists of three steps. First, a shallow harmonizer network is trained to recover images of the source domain from their augmented versions. A normalizing flow network is then trained to learn the distribution of the source domain. Finally, at test time, a harmonizer network is modified so that the output images match the source domain's distribution learned by the normalizing flow model. Our unsupervised, source-free and task-independent approach is evaluated on cross-domain brain MRI segmentation using data from four different sites. Results demonstrate its superior performance compared to existing methods.

Harmonizing Flows: Leveraging normalizing flows for unsupervised and source-free MRI harmonization
Lack of standardization and various intrinsic parameters for magnetic resonance (MR) image acquisition results in heterogeneous images across different sites and devices, which adversely affects the generalization of dee…
