Nonrigid active shape model–based registration framework for motion correction of cardiac T1 mapping

Accurate reconstruction of myocardial T1 maps from a series of T1‐weighted images consists of cardiac motions induced from breathing and diaphragmatic drifts. We propose and evaluate a new framework based on active shape models to correct for motion in myocardial T1 maps.
