Dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-MRI is increasingly
being used in understanding the pharmaco-kinetic (pK)
characteristics of breast tumors. The Ktrans and ve
estimates used in tumor characterization depend on the
DCE concentration time courses. Cardiac pulsation,
breathing and voluntary patient motion introduce rigid
and non-rigid motion, which may corrupt the DCE
analysis. Previous work demonstrated symmetric
diffeomorphic normalization (SyN) to be more effective
than b-splines based approaches in correcting for motion
in breast DCE MRI. In this work we demonstrate the
impact of SyN based non-rigid registration on pK
modelling for breast DCE-MRI.
