Diffusion weighted (DW) images are acquired with a low
spatial resolution to obtain a reasonable
signal-to-noise ratio within a clinically feasible scan
time. Recently, a method has been proposed that improves
this trade-off by acquiring multiple anisotropic DW
images with different slice orientations, and recovering
the underlying high resolution (HR) DW images via
super-resolution reconstruction (SRR). Here, we present
an improved method (SRR-DTI) which includes the
diffusion tensor model. We show using whole brain
tractography that fiber tracking in a SRR-DTI data set
is more accurate than in a HR DW data set acquired
within the same scan time.
