MR imaging is a powerful tool for representing the soft tissue, organs and also three-dimensional visualization inside of the human body. This tool has different advantages including imaging in different directions and also it is relatively safe as compared to the other imaging modalities such as Computer Tomography (CT) and X-ray. MRI is used to capture images in different modalities such as T1-weighted, T2-weighted, and Proton Density (PD)-weighted. This capability help to better diagnose the different diseases such as cancers and Multiple Sclerosis (MS) [1]. MR has the capability to provide the functional activity of the brain too [2] and many tools have been proposed for the analysis of the fMRI data [3,4].
