A method for automated evaluation of motion correction is presented. The method includes identifying one or more regions of interest in each of a plurality of images corresponding to a subject of interest. Furthermore, the method includes selecting valid voxels in each of the one or more regions of interest in each of the plurality of images. The method also includes computing a similarity metric, a dispersion metric, or both the similarity metric and the dispersion metric for each region of interest in each of the plurality of images. Additionally, the method includes generating a similarity map, a dispersion map, or both the similarity map and the dispersion map based on the similarity metrics and the dispersion metrics corresponding to the one or more regions of interest.
