Synopsis

Diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) suffers from the intrinsic low SNR, especially for high-resolution and/or high b-value acquisitions. Thus, denoising methods are critical for diffusion images. Recently, increasing attention has been paid to complex DWI image denoising. Here, we propose a 2-step non-local low-rank joint denoising method to process complex-valued DWI images. Simulation data and in-vivo brain data were used to test the proposed method. The results showed that the proposed method may further improve the image quality.
