Fast identification of optimal fascicle configurations from standard clinical diffusion MRI using Akaike information criterion
2014
2014 IEEE 11th International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging (ISBI)
Starting from a set of fitted models with increasing number of fascicles, we use Akaike information criterion to estimate the probability of each candidate model to be the best Kullback-Leibler model. ...
In this paper, we aim at proposing a novel approach to identify such a configuration from clinical diffusion MRI where only few diffusion images can be acquired and time is of the essence. ...
Starting with a candidate set, we search for the best Kullback-Leibler (KL) MCM (i.e., at minimal KL divergence to the true unknown diffusion model) as a combination of the candidate models. ...
