Background Patient motion can degrade image quality of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) due to subtraction artifacts. By objectively and subjectively assessing the impact of principal component analysis (PCA)-based registration on pretreatment DCE-MRIs of breast cancer patients, we aim to validate four-dimensional registration for DCE breast MRI. Results After applying a four-dimensional, PCA-based registration algorithm to 154 pretreatment DCE-MRIs of histopathologically well-described breast cancer patients, we quantitatively determined image quality in unregistered and registered images. For subjective assessment, we ranked motion severity in a clinical reading setting according to four motion categories (0: no motion, 1: mild motion, 2: moderate motion, 3: severe motion with nondiagnostic image quality). The median of images with either moderate or severe motion (median category 2, IQR 0) was reassigned to motion category 1 (IQR 0) after registration. Motion category and motion reduction by registration were correlated (Spearman’s rho: 0.83, p < 0.001). For objective assessment, we performed perfusion model fitting using the extended Tofts model and calculated its volume transfer coefficient K trans as surrogate parameter for motion artifacts. Mean K trans decreased from 0.103 (± 0.077) before registration to 0.097 (± 0.070) after registration ( p < 0.001). Uncertainty in perfusion quantification was reduced by 7.4% after registration (± 15.5, p < 0.001). Conclusions Four-dimensional, PCA-based image registration improves image quality of breast DCE-MRI by correcting for motion artifacts in subtraction images and reduces uncertainty in quantitative perfusion modeling. The improvement is most pronounced when moderate-to-severe motion artifacts are present. Key points PCA-based registration improved motion-related image quality according to subjective and objective criteria. The impact of registration was positively correlated with motion severity. Registration improved perfusion quantification by reducing model-related uncertainty.
