NAME

       mia-2dmyoicapgt - Run a registration of a series of 2D images.

SYNOPSIS

       mia-2dmyoicapgt -i <in-file> -o <out-file> [options]

DESCRIPTION

       mia-2dmyoicapgt This program implements a two passs motion compensation algorithm. First a
       linear registration is  run  based  on  a  variation  of  Gupta  et~al.  "Fully  automatic
       registration  and  segmentation  of  first-pass  myocardial perfusion MR image sequences",
       Academic Radiology 17, 1375-1385 as described  in  in  Wollny  G,  Kellman  P,  Santos  A,
       Ledesma-Carbayo  M-J, "Automatic Motion Compensation of Free Breathing acquired Myocardial
       Perfusion Data by using Independent Component Analysis",  Medical  Image  Analysis,  2012,
       DOI:10.1016/j.media.2012.02.004,  followed  by a non-linear registration based Chao Li and
       Ying Sun, 'Nonrigid Registration of Myocardial Perfusion MRI Using Pseudo Ground Truth'  ,
       In  Proc. Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention MICCAI 2009, 165-172,
       2009. Note that for this nonlinear motion correction a preceding linear registration  step
       is usually required. This version of the program may run all registrations in parallel.

EXAMPLE

       Register the perfusion  series  given  in  'segment.set'  by  first  using  automatic  ICA
       estimation  to  run the linear registration and then the PGT registration. Skip two images
       at the  beginning  and  otherwiese  use  the  default  parameters.  Store  the  result  in
       'registered.set'.
