• Abstract summary: We propose a diffusion encoding scheme, called Slice-Interleaved Diffusion. SIDE, that interleaves each diffusion-weighted (DW) image volume with slices encoded with different diffusion gradients. We also present a method based on deep learning for effective reconstruction of DW images from the highly slice-undersampled data.

• Abstract: Diffusion MRI (dMRI) is a unique imaging technique for in vivo characterization of tissue microstructure and white matter pathways. However, its relatively long acquisition time implies greater motion artifacts when imaging, for example, infants and Parkinson's disease patients. To accelerate dMRI acquisition, we propose in this paper (i) a diffusion encoding scheme, called Slice-Interleaved Diffusion Encoding (SIDE), that interleaves each diffusion-weighted (DW) image volume with slices that are encoded with different diffusion gradients, essentially allowing the slice-undersampling of image volume associated with each diffusion gradient to significantly reduce acquisition time, and (ii) a method based on deep learning for effective reconstruction of DW images from the highly slice-undersampled data. Evaluation based on the Human Connectome Project (HCP) dataset indicates that our method can achieve a high acceleration factor of up to 6 with minimal information loss. Evaluation using dMRI data acquired with SIDE acquisition demonstrates that it is possible to accelerate the acquisition by as much as 50 folds when combined with multi-band imaging.

  We introduce a convolutional neural network approach that we call multi-b-value-based denoising (MBD) MBD exploits the similarity in diffusion-weighted images (DWI) across different b-values but along the same diffusion encoding direction. It allows denoising of diffusion images with high noise variance while avoiding blurring, and using just a small number input images.

  Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the only imaging modality for non-invasive movement detection of inmagnitude water molecules. DWI acquired by multi-shot techniques can achieve higher resolution, better signal-to-noise ratio, and lower geometric distortion than single-shot. These artifacts cannot be removed prospectively, leading to the absence of artifact-free training labels. We propose a Physics-Informed Deep DWI reconstruction method (PIDD) to synthesize high-quality paired training data.

In our MANet, the representations from the fully sampled auxiliary and undersampled target modalities are learned independently through a specific network. Our MANet follows a hybrid domain learning framework, which allows it to simultaneously recover the frequency signal in the $k$-space domain.
