We present a novel compressed sensing approach for super resolution reconstruction (SRR) of diffusion MRI using multiple anisotropic low-resolution images. The diffusion signal in each voxel is estimated using spherical ridgelets while the spatial correlation between neighboring voxels is accounted for using total-variation (TV) regularization. The experimental result using in-vivo human brain data shows that the proposed SRR method is capable of recovering complex fiber orientations at a very high spatial resolution, similar to a physically acquired gold-standard data. Hence it has potential to be applied in clinical settings to study mental diseases and to reduce partial-volume effect.
