The study explores the possibility to create neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging (NODDI) parameter maps with single-shell diffusion MRI data, using isotropic volume fraction (f_ISO) as prior. Proposed dictionary based deep learning prior NODDI (DLpN) framework leverages f_ISO estimation with a diffusion imaging scalar and T2 weighted non-diffusion signal. f_ISO estimation was validated in simulation and in-vivo. DLpN derived NDI and ODI maps for single-shell protocols are comparable with original multi-shell NODDI (error <5%) and may allow NODDI evaluation of retrospective brain studies on single-shell diffusion MRI data by multi-shell scanning of two subjects for DictNet f_ISO training.
