Multi-shot diffusion imaging holds great potential for enabling high spatial resolution diffusion imaging as well as short echo time imaging to enhance studies at higher field strengths. Conventional reconstructions rely on motion-induced phase estimates to recover the diffusion-weighted images from multi-shot acquisitions. Since a good estimate of phase cannot be obtained in many situations either due to noisy data or high under-sampling, these methods are unreliable in such situations. Here we propose a new reconstruction for multi-shot diffusion imaging that recovers the missing k-space data of the multiple shots by formulating the recovery as a structured low-rank matrix completion problem.
