Quantitative myocardial T
1
mapping
is commonly performed using a breath-hold ECG-triggered
acquisition. Despite breath-hold instructions, motion is
observed in ~50% of patients due to diaphragmatic drift
and the patients limited breath-holding capability.
Registration of each T
1
-weighted image can be
performed to reduce motion artifacts in T
1
maps
but remains challenging due to the high intensity
variations among T
1
weighted
images. In this study we propose a novel non-rigid
motion correction approach for improved T
1
mapping.
