Retrospective head motion correction counts to the most
important post-processing steps in diffusion-weighted
MR. However, due to the missing ground-truth, a
quantitative evaluation of correction algorithms is
possible only to a limited extent. Usage of reference
transforms applied to an already aligned data is
restricted to translation, as the diffusion signal is
not invariant under rotation. We present a novel method
for construction of ground-truth head motion data using
the Fiberfox tool for realistic diffusion-weighted
signal simulation. We further show that the rotation
must not be neglected in motion correction and
evaluation.
