Abstract
Diffusion MRI (dMRI), while powerful for the characterization of tissue microstructure, suffers from long acquisition times. In this paper, we propose a super-resolution (SR) reconstruction method based on orthogonal slice-undersampling for accelerated dMRI acquisition. Instead of scanning full diffusion-weighted (DW) image volumes, only a subsample of equally-spaced slices need to be acquired. We show that complementary information from DW volumes corresponding to different diffusion wave-vectors can be harnessed using graph convolutional neural networks for reconstruction of the full DW volumes. We demonstrate that our SR reconstruction method outperforms typical interpolation methods and mitigates partial volume effects. Experimental results indicate that acceleration up to a factor of 5 can be achieved with minimal information loss.
