Abstract

The main factor that prevents diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) from being incorporated in clinical routines is its long acquisition time of a large number of diffusion-weighted images (DWIs) required for reliable tensor estimation. This abstract presents SuperDTI to learn the nonlinear relationship between DWIs (reduced in q-space and k-space) and the corresponding tensor-derived quantitative maps as well as fiber tractography. Experimental results show that the proposed method can generate fractional anisotropy and mean diffusivity maps, as well as fiber tractography, from as few as six undersampled raw DWIs with quality comparable to results from 90 DWIs using conventional tensor fitting.
