In this work we propose a framework to compensate for the breathing motion for dynamic lung XeMRI (DXeV), aligning images from different breathing phases and therefore increasing the accuracy of the ventilation analysis process. We build a lung atlas, to delineate a plausible shape of the lungs in the ventilation images, which is further used to co-register all ventilation volumes in the sequence to the reference lung atlas. After applying the proposed breathing motion correction method, the tidal breathing motion has been largely compensated and all masks of ventilation volumes correspond to each other spatially.
