Care should be taken to account for motion between breath-hold acquisitions in magnetic resonance elastography.
Figure 5: Magnitude images for one extreme case for each breath-hold at the highest simulated motion level and the original magnitude image for reference. The average Dice score over the breath-holds was 0.58. The elasticity maps before and after motion are also shown.
Figure 4: Violin plots comparing elasticity for all cases within each region to the ground truth (GT) for increasing motion. The average Dice overlaps between regions before and after motion are shown in blue. A table of the bulk motion and deformation applied for each motion level is also shown.
