Abstract

A computer program, a system and a method for normalizing medical images from a type of image acquisition device using a machine learning unit are disclosed. An embodiment of the method includes receiving a set of image data with images; decomposing each of the images of the set of images into components by incorporating at least information from different settings of the image acquisition device-specific image processing algorithms; and normalizing each of the components via a machine learning unit by processing at least information from the different settings of the image acquisition device-specific processing algorithms to provide a set of normalized images with a relatively decreased variability score.
