We present a sampling and reconstruction scheme that, when combined with multi-band imaging, accelerates dMRI acquisition by as much as 50 folds. In contrast to the conventional approach of acquiring a full diffusion-weighted (DW) volume for each diffusion wavevector, we acquire for each repetition time (TR) a volume consisting of interleaved slice groups, each corresponding to a different diffusion wavevector. This in effect results in a subsample of slices for each diffusion wavevector, based on which we can recover the full volumes for all wavevectors using a graph convolutional neural network (GCNN).
