DCE-MRI is increasingly being used in diagnosis and
screening of breast tumors. Careful study of intensity
changes over time between the pre-contrast and
post-contrast images is critical to tumor biometry.
Rigid and non-rigid motion may be caused by factors such
as voluntary patient motion, cardiac pulsation, and
breathing during image acquisition. In this work we
compare and evaluate b-splines and symmetric
diffeomorphic normalization based non-rigid registration
(NRR) algorithms for their effectiveness in motion
correction for breast DCE-MRI. B-splines based NRR
approaches provided consistent time performance. Better
NRR accuracy was achieved with diffeomorphic
normalization based motion correction methods.
