Diffusion Weighted Images datasets suffer from low SNR,
especially at high b-values. High noise levels bias the
measurements because of the non-Gaussian nature of the
noise, which in turn can lead to a false and biased
estimation of the diffusion parameters. We propose to
use the redundancy of DWIs as a sparse representation to
reduce the noise level and achieve a higher SNR using
dictionary learning and sparse coding, without the need
for additional acquisition time. We show quantitative
results and compare with current state-of-the-art
methods using perceptual metrics, diffusion metrics and
ODFs reconstruction.
