For Groupwise Registration PCAmetric2 was used.
For groupwise registration one should use the following command line call:
elastix -f <4D DCE-MRI image> -m <4D DCE-MRI image> -p -out
where <4D DCE-MRI image> is the entire group of images that are acquired in a single DCE-MRI acquisition. Note that the fixed and moving image should be the same. The fixed image is not used for the registration, but acts as a dummy to prevent elastix throwing error messages.
