| Popis: | This paper presents novel single and multi-shell sampling schemes for diffusion MRI. In diffusion MRI, it is paramount that the number of samples is as small as possible in order that scan times are practical in a clinical setting. The proposed schemes use an efficient number of measurements in that the number of samples is equal to the degrees of freedom in the orthonormal bases used for reconstruction. Novel reconstruction algorithms based on smaller subsystems of linear equations, as compared to the standard regularized least-squares method, are developed for both single and multi-shells sampling schemes. The smaller matrices used in these novel reconstruction algorithms are designed to be well-conditioned, leading to improved reconstruction accuracy. Accurate and robust reconstruction is also achieved through incorporation of regularization into the novel reconstruction algorithms and using a Rician or non-central Chi noise model. We quantitatively validate our single and multi-shell schemes against standard least-squares reconstruction methods to show that they enable more accurate reconstruction when the number of samples is equal to the degrees of freedom in the basis. Human brain data is also used to qualitatively evaluate reconstruction Comment: 19 pages, with 6 pages supplementary material attached at the end, submitted to PLOS ONE |
