Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods for adaptively registering images acquired with different contrast-weightings using a magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”) system. For instance, motion is estimated as global affine motion refined by a local non-rigid motion estimation algorithm that simultaneously estimates the motion field and intensity variations among the images being registered. The images registered with the described systems and methods can be used for improved tissue characterization.
