Diffusion Spectrum Imaging (DSI) is able to
non-invasively image the microstructure of the brain,
including its complex distributions of intravoxel fiber
orientations. A drawback of DSI is the requirement for a
large number of q-space samples to adequately sample the
Orientation Diffusion Function, leading to large
measurement time. In order to accelerate DSI
acquisitions we use a multi-echo stimulated echo
diffusion sequence which samples multiple samples along
a radial line in q-space in a single readout. This is
combined with the recently proposed radial q-space
sampling scheme, leading to, in the current
configuration, a nearly fourfold speedup.
