Objective: The primary objective of this study is to perform a blinded ewluation of a group of retrospective image registration techniques using s a gold standard a prospective, marker-bsed registration method. In order to ensure blindedness, all retrospective registrations were performed by participants who hl no knowledge of the gold-standard results until after their results had been submitted. A secondary goal of the project is to evaluate the importance of correcting geometrical distortion in MR images by comparing the retrospective registration error in the rectified images, i.e., those which have hl the distortion correction applied, with that of the same images before rectification.
