Abstract: Diffusion-weighted images with different b values have misalignments due to patients' respiratory movement during acquisition process and the image distortion when the b value is high.This paper proposes a new 3D registration algorithm to improve the overlapping rate of 3D multi-b-value diffusion-weighted images.Fitting accuracy is obtained by fitting DW images with intra-voxel incoherent motion (IVIM) model and then a weight matrix is constructed.The precise registration is performed by free-form deformation(FFD)which is weighted by the weight matrix adaptively.The overlapping rate of 12 series of multi-b-value DW images is obviously approved after registration especially for higher b-value images and the difference is significant.The proposed method has excellent registration property and is helpful for accurate quantitative analysis in clinical diagnosis.

Key words: 3D registration, Diffusion weighted images, Free form deformation, Intra-voxel incoherent motion model
