Based on the Fourier transform relation between diffusion magnetic resonance (MR) signals and the underlying diffusion displacement, a new relation is derived to estimate the spin distribution function (SDF) directly from diffusion MR signals. This relation leads to an imaging method called generalized q-sampling imaging (GQI), which can obtain the SDF from the shell sampling scheme used in q-ball imaging (QBI) or the grid sampling scheme used in diffusion spectrum imaging (DSI). The accuracy…

Estimation of fiber orientation and spin density distribution by diffusion deconvolution

Reconstruction of major fibers using 7T multi-shell Hybrid Diffusion Imaging in mice

It is found that QBI may provide greater reconstruction accuracy for major fibers, which improves with the addition of higher b-value shells, unlike GQI or DTI (as expected).

Effect of Data Acquisition and Analysis Method on Fiber Orientation Estimation in Diffusion MRI

Overall, the "ball-and-stick" model and spherical deconvolution approach were found to perform best, yielding the least orientation error, and greatest detection rate of fibers.

Accelerated diffusion spectrum imaging via compressed sensing for the human connectome project

The proposed compressed sensing based diffusion spectrum imaging (CS-DSI) method is validated against a ground truth from synthetic data mimicking the FiberCup phantom, demonstrating the robustness of CS- DSI on accurately estimating underlying fiber orientations from noisy diffusion data.

A Comparative Study of Diffusion Fiber Reconstruction Models for Pyramidal Tract Branches

GQI-based group probabilistic maps of PT branches showed that the four PT branches exhibited relatively unique spatial distributions, and the GQI and QBI represent better diffusion models for the PT and PT branches.

Quantitative Comparison of Reconstruction Methods for Intra-Voxel Fiber Recovery From Diffusion MRI

Evaluated methods encompass a mixture of classical techniques well known in the literature such as diffusion tensor, Q-Ball and diffusion spectrum imaging, algorithms inspired by the recent theory of compressed sensing and also brand new approaches proposed for the first time at this contest.

Converting Multi-Shell and Diffusion Spectrum Imaging to High Angular Resolution Diffusion Imaging

The analysis result showed that the diffusion signals, anisotropy, diffusivity, and connectivity matrix of the HARDI converted from multi-shell and DSI were highly correlated with those of theHARDI acquired on the MR scanner, with correlation coefficients around 0.8~0.9.
