In this study, the new Positive Contrast (PC) method was proposed to emphasize the tumors in MRI images. If the object includes magnetic particles such as S PIO(Super Paramagnetic Iron Oxide), the dark image is obtained because of the MRI's distorted magnetic field by the magnetic particles. This effect appears as the shift of peak position in K-space calculated from the Fourier transform of the sub-area of the MRI images. The tumor-emphasized MRI images were obta ined by selecting only the sub-areas that ...
