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. 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.
