We combine of a radial spin echo diffusion tensor
imaging (RAISED) sequence for DTI of articular cartilage
with a model-based iterative reconstruction, which
directly calculates the diffusion tensor without
reconstructing the intermediate diffusion-weighted
images. This adds flexibility to the data acquisition.
Purpose of this work was to assess value of different
acquisition strategies for a model-based reconstruction.
We tested four protocols with different resolutions,
b-values and acquisitions times. We compared our
model-based approach with the standard gridding
reconstruction. We found improvement of the DTI
parameters with the model based reconstruction and
identify an optimal protocol for RAISED.
