Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) is known to be
sensitive to motion originating from vibration, cardiac
pulsation, breathing and subject movement, creating
artifacts which require post-imaging correction. Users
often do not fully understand the consequences of
different choices for post-correction schemes for HARDI
such as elimination versus alignment of affected DWIs
with inherent choices of image interpolation, and how
correction would affect ODF estimation, ability to
resolve crossing fibers and final quantitative measures.
We report about an experimental synthetic data platform
and comparison with real data to systematically explore
motion correction schemes under different scenarios to
provide recommendations for best choices.
