Diffusion Spectrum Imaging (DSI) has become a powerful
tool for non-invasive imaging of white matter brain
architecture. Unfortunately, widespread clinical
implementation has been hampered by long acquisition
times. DSI approaches sampling q-space in a radial
fashion have been shown to be more efficient and
accurate. When combined with a multi-echo train, RDSI
provides significant throughput improvements over
conventional DSI. We demonstrate a further acceleration
of multi-echo RDSI by extending this technique with
Simultaneous Multi-Slice excitation. The combined
acceleration allows for whole brain fully sampled RDSI
in under 7 min.
