Image registration for triggered and non‐triggered DTI of the human kidney: Reduced variability of diffusion parameter estimation

To investigate if non‐rigid image‐registration reduces motion artifacts in triggered and non‐triggered diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) of native kidneys. A secondary aim was to determine, if improvements through registration allow for omitting respiratory‐triggering.
