A number of recently proposed methods make use of data acquired using multi-shell HARDI, characterised by the number of b-values used, their actual values, and the number of DW directions acquired per b-value shell. To date, these schemes have been optimised with respect to a particular reconstruction algorithm, with no guarantee of suitability for other methods. In this study, we present a data-driven approach to optimise these protocols, and apply it to design a multi-shell scheme suitable for use in neonatal imaging.
