Advanced diffusion models such as NODDI, MAP-MRI are of high interests in brain research, but suffer from long acquisition time. Advanced under-sampling scheme were reported in previous studies for acceleration but are not commercially available. This study evaluates a simple and commercial available under-sampling scheme using the symmetric property of q-space, which could accelerate the acquisition by 2 fold. Results showed that it did not significant sacrifice the accuracy of quantitative maps. In addition, a symmetrically data copy step is needed to improve the estimation accuracy for both MAP-MRI and NODDI models.
