NAME
mia-2dmyomilles - Run a registration of a series of 2D images.
SYNOPSIS
mia-2dmyomilles -i <in-file> -o <out-file> [options]
DESCRIPTION
mia-2dmyomilles This program is use to run a modified version of the ICA based
registration approach described in
Milles et al. 'Fully Automated Motion Correction in First-Pass Myocardial Perfusion
MR Image Sequences', Trans. Med. Imaging., 27(11), 1611-1621, 2008.
⟨https://doi.org/10.1109/TMI.2008.928918⟩
Changes include the extraction of the quasi-periodic movement in free breathingly
acquired data sets and the option to run affine or rigid registration instead of the
optimization of translations only.
OPTIONS
