In Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging (DKI) the data is sampled in a series of concentric shells in the diffusion encoding space (q-space). This work proposes to randomly undersample this multi-shell data in q-space (i.e. to acquire fewer data points) and to exploit the 1D Fourier relation between single rays in q-space and in the reciprocal propagator space in order to reconstruct the missing points based on the principles of compressed sensing using a non-cartesian total variation regularization. The benefits of this approach in terms of stability and accuracy of the kurtosis tensor estimation are shown for a volunteer diffusion MR data set using undersampling factors up to R=2.
