Abdominal DTI is sensitive to respiration motion artifacts and even in triggered scans residual motion artifacts remain. Our previous study demonstrated that non-rigid image co-registration of individual DTI images of human kidney reduces the residual motion artifacts in triggered scans. Based upon our precedent encouraging results the aim of this study was therefore to employ prior to further analysis
