Abstract

From the paperThe authors' own words.

Respiratory and bulk motion displace the spinal cord between the volumes of a functional MRI time series. Current methods such as the Spinal Cord Toolbox (SCT) take several minutes per time series, and general-purpose brain tools register whole volumes, whereas the cord moves mainly slice by slice. We propose a lightweight convolutional neural network that regresses the in-plane translation aligning each axial slice to a reference. Two models, trained without motion labels, correct large and then residual motion. On a 3T (120 scans) and a 7T (59 scans) dataset, the proposed method improves on SCT on every metric (tSNR +10 to +25%, DVARS -20 to -38%), leaves almost no slice displaced by more than one voxel (<0.1%), performs on par with a slice-wise AFNI variant and better than slice-wise FSL FLIRT, and runs in about 10 s per scan, about 30 times faster than SCT. The code is available at https://github.com/ivadomed/moco-dl and the method is available in SCT v7.4.
