Reconstruction of diffusion-weighted images (DWIs) in diffusion MRI is usually done independently for each DWI, without exploiting structural correlations between the DWIs. In this work, we propose direct reconstruction of the average diffusion propagator (directly from k-space data), taking advantage of the DWIs being linked together via their Fourier relationship with the average propagator space, while regularization using five-dimensional total generalized variation (TGV) along both image space and diffusion space is applied. The results demonstrate the ability of the method to reconstruct q-space-undersampled data in a compressed sensing framework, simultaneously denoising the data.
