Abstract
A contrast quantification package has been developed to be part of a medical ultrasound system. This package provides motion compensation through nonaffine image registration. An explanation of the image registration system is given. A set of analyses made with this system is presented; they show that the registration system provides significant improvements over using images without motion correction.
