Feasibility of Data-Driven, Model-Free Quantitative MRI Protocol Design: Application to Brain and Prostate Diffusion-Relaxation Imaging
2021
Frontiers in Physics
We use the "select and retrieve via direct upsampling" (SARDU-Net) algorithm, made of a selector, identifying measurement subsets, and a predictor, estimating fully-sampled signals from the subsets. ...
SARDU-Net is demonstrated to be a robust algorithm for data-driven, model-free protocol design. ...
Examples include the design of optimal diffusion-weighting protocols [4, 5, [23] [24] [25] [26] ; number and spacing of temporal sampling in relaxometry [27, 28] ; DRI sampling [18] . ...

Reducing the number of samples in spatiotemporal dMRI acquisition design
2018
Magnetic Resonance in Medicine
The authors introduce an acquisition scheme that reduces the number of samples under adjustable quality loss. ...
Acquisition time is a major limitation in recovering brain white matter microstructure with diffusion magnetic resonance imaging. ...
We use Standard Genetic Algorithm (SGA) [33, 46, 49] for this purpose, which allows us to find approximate solutions in acceptable time. ...

Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging for Brainnetome: A critical review
2012
Neuroscience Bulletin
The need for an integration of multi-spatial and -temporal approaches is becoming apparent. Therefore, the "Brainnetome" (brain-net-ome) project was proposed. ...
This review focuses on one of the most promising techniques, diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI), and its use for modeling and analysis in the Brainnetome. tions of sub-networks are also attractive ...
The black dot in q = (0, 0, 0)T is the baseline image without a diffusion gradient. Note that although we showed sampling in R3, normally only samples in a half-space are used, e.g. qz ≥0. ...

White matter integrity, fiber count, and other fallacies: The do's and don'ts of diffusion MRI
2013
NeuroImage
Due to the ease of use of such implementations, and the plausibility of some of their results, DTI was leapt on by imaging neuroscientists who saw it as a powerful and unique new tool for exploring the ...
In order to encourage the use of improved DW-MRI methods, which have a better chance of characterizing the actual fiber structure of white matter, and to warn against the misuse and misinterpretation of ...
However, full reconstruction of the diffusion propagator is not possible, as it would require infinite sampling of the q-space (space spanned by gradient directions and b-values). ...

A data-driven approach to optimising the encoding for multi-shell diffusion MRI with application to neonatal imaging
[article]
2019
biorxiv/medrxiv
pre-print
In this work, we propose a means of optimising multi-shell acquisition schemes by estimating the information content of the diffusion MRI signal, and optimising the acquisition parameters for sensitivity ...
Such schemes are characterised by the number of shells acquired, and the specific b-value and number of directions sampled for each shell. ...
The predicted variance in the mean per-shell signal can be used to predict the variance in the estimated basis coefficients using the law of propagation of errors (Arras, 1998) . ...
