Clinical diffusion imaging frequently suffers from multiple artefacts. As a consequence, many corrupted datasets cannot be used in further analysis and/or medical treatments. We have developed a robust post-processing framework that allows one to recover the degraded datasets and to return them to use. In order to demonstrate the advantages of the developed framework, the results obtained by the robust approach with other post-processing algorithms are compared. We show the benefits of the robust post-processing framework using voxelwise analysis by TBSS software from FSL package.
