Compressed Sensing allows accelerating Diffusion
Spectrum Imaging (DSI) acquisitions by reconstructing
the Ensemble Average Propagator from a significantly
reduced number of q-space samples. Nevertheless, the
reconstruction performance is highly dependent on the
sparse domain, which has not been fully studied for the
specific DSI application. In this work we propose a new
sparse domain based on Curvelets, a multi-resolution
geometric analysis that incorporates explicitly an
angular decomposition with parabolic scaling and
location to characterize bounded curve-singularities in
a sparse matter. We show that this domain allows even
higher accelerating factors for DSI and thus
significantly shortening the scan time.
