This study describes a preliminary investigation of the
use of registration techniques to assess colonic
motility. Cine MRI data from 10 healthy subjects pre-
and 1 hour post an oral dose of a common laxative
underwent dual registration to remove breathing effects
and parameterise bowel motion. Significant area changes
from 3 regions of interest across the AC were converted
into a motility index and compared to observer scores of
bowel wall contractions. The greatest agreement between
the motility index and observer scores were seen for a
change in area of greater than 5% of mean area.
