NAME

mia-2dmyopgt-nonrigid - Run a registration of a series of 2D images.

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

mia-2dmyopgt-nonrigid This program implements the non-linear registration based on Pseudo
Ground Thruth for motion compensation of series of myocardial perfusion images given as a
data set as decribed in 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.
