1. A method for retrospective image combination for free-breathing magnetic resonance (MR) images, comprising: receiving an MR image acquisition comprising a plurality of frames, each frame comprising a plurality of pixels; selecting a key frame of the plurality of frames; generating a deformation field for each of the plurality of frames to register each of the plurality of frames with the key frame; determining a weight for each pixel in each of the plurality of frames based on the deformation field for each frame; and generating a combination image as a weighted average of the plurality of frames using the weight determined for each pixel in each frame, wherein the step of determining a weight for each pixel in each of the plurality of frames based on the deformation field for each frame comprises: determining the weight for each pixel in each frame to combine the frames under a minimum total deformation constraint.
