Synopsis

Motion correction methods are a prerequisite in multiple-image registration tasks. We implemented a non-rigid groupwise registration method and ROI-focused non-rigid groupwise registration method for renal pCASL images. We evaluated the temporal signal variation in the renal cortex after motion correction using both methods. Motion correction technique shows statistically significant improvement on the tSNR and ROI-focused method performs statistically better.
