Abstract
This paper presents a comparison of the motion fields computed from TrueFISP untagged and SPAMM tagged magnetic resonance (MR) images using a 4D nonrigid registration algorithm that we have developed for cardiac motion tracking [3]. Our results, which were obtained from a group of 7 normal volunteers, indicate that although there is a good correlation between the motion fields computed from the tagged and untagged MR images, some of the twisting motion is not captured in the motion fields derived from the TrueFISP MR images.
