Cardiac motion and deformation estimation from tagged MRI sequences using a temporal coherent image registration framework KU Leuven
Non-rigid image registration has been proposed to extract myocardial motion and deformation from tagged Magnetic Resonance Imaging (t-MRI). Initial efforts focused on finding a set of pairwise registrations, while more recent methods proposed to perform a joint image alignment to exploit temporal information. However, the latter methods usually measure image similarity with respect to the first phase, which may not be optimal due to tag fading. ...
