Abstract
Embodiments can provide a computer-implemented method for 3D motion correction for diffusion weighted imaging images, the method comprising acquiring a series of image slices from a medical imaging device; binning the series of image slices into bins, each bin comprising a plurality of slice locations; identifying, for each of the B-values, a dominating breathing state wherein at least one of the plurality of slice locations of the dominating breathing state contains an image slice from the series of images; identifying, for each of the B-values, one or more non-dominating breathing states; and registering, for each of the B-values, all of the one or more non-dominating breathing states to the dominating breathing state.
