Objective
The objective is to create software for correcting head motion and eddy current artifacts in DWIs.
Approach, Plan
We implemented the diffusion weighted image (DWI) registration model from the paper of G.K.Rohde et al. Patient head motion and eddy currents distortion cause artifacts in maps of diffusion parameters computed from DWI. This model corrects these two distortions at the same time including brightness correction.
Progress
We have implemented a simple command line module. We plan to add the gradient rotation, sinc interpolation and to make an easy to use Slicer module.
