Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for harmonizing diffusion tensor images. One of the methods includes obtaining a diffusion tensor image; determining a set of RISH features for the diffusion tensor image; processing a model input generated from the set of RISH features using a machine learning model to generate a model output identifying an image transformation from a set of image transformations, wherein each image transformation in the set of image transformations corresponds to a respective different first MRI scanner and represents a transformation that, when applied to first diffusion tensor images captured by the first MRI scanner, harmonizes the first diffusion tensor images with second diffusion tensor images captured by a reference MRI scanner; and processing the diffusion tensor image using the identified image transformation to generate a harmonized diffusion tensor image.
