NAME
mia-2dmyoica-nonrigid2 - Run a registration of a series of 2D images.
SYNOPSIS
mia-2dmyoica-nonrigid2 -i <in-file> -o <out-file> [options]
DESCRIPTION
mia-2dmyoica-nonrigid2 This program runs the non-rigid registration of an perfusion image
series.In each pass, first an ICA analysis is run to estimate and eliminate the periodic
movement and create reference images with intensities similar to the corresponding
original image. Then non-rigid registration is run using the an "ssd + divcurl" cost
model. The B-spline c-rate and the divcurl cost weight are changed in each pass according
to given parameters.In the first pass a bounding box around the LV myocardium may be
extractedto speed up computation Special note to this implemnentation: the registration is
always run from the original images to avoid the accumulation of interpolation errors.
