We developed a computer software which quantifies the small bowel motility shown on cine MR imaging using optical flow algorithm with Horn-Schunck approach, by adding a preprocessing step for analyzing cine MR images. A high Pearson’s correlation coefficient was obtained between direct measurement on cine MR and motility map value (r= 0.83 [95% confidence interval: 0.83 – 0.95, P<0.0001]).
