Varying the diffusion mixing time ( Capital Greek Delta ) in a Stejskal-Tanner experiment allows one to obtain information about the tissue microstructure. These experiments require either high-gradient-field scanners, long scanning times, or prior knowledge of the fiber orientation. On the other hand, sampling the full q-space allows one to work with no model constraints in the propagator space and potentially might reveal further tissue information. However, a full DSI acquisition for a given set of more than one Capital Greek Delta is clinically not feasible in terms of measuring time. Therefore, we need a technique that allows combining DSI acquisition and different Capital Greek Delta in clinical time. In this abstract, we present a compressed sensing algorithm and a study of five different denoising associated techniques that reduce the measuring time up to a factor of R=4.
