          Spherical Deconvolution (SD) is a model-based approach 
						to retrieve angular fiber information from HARDI data. 
						This work proposes to apply concepts and algorithms 
						known in the context of Compressed Sensing, namely 
						L1-sparsity and minimum Total Variation, to regularize 
						the numerically ill-posed inverse problem addressed by 
						SD. Moreover, the proposed method allows undersampling 
						the data to substantially speed up the data acquisition 
						by a factor of three. Improved fiber peak detection and 
						tractography results are shown for simulated as well as 
						for in vivo human subject data.
