Abstract: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of non-rigid registration of cardiac perfusion images on image quality and diagnostic accuracy. Cardiac MR is often utilized to assess myocardial perfusion [ 1 ].Typically, T1 weighted images of the first pass of contrast agent are qualitatively assessed to identify hypo-enhanced regions of the myocardium. Although fully integrated approaches are available to register individual images to eliminate motion the impact on diagnostic accuracy has not been validated in patients [ 2 ].
