Synopsis

In this work we propose a novel algorithm of denoising accelerated diffusion weighted MRI (dMRI) acquisitions using deep learning and self-supervision. This method effectively enables the prediction of diffusion-weighted images (DWIs), without the need for large amounts of training data with high directional encodings. We demonstrate that accurate diffusion tensor metrics can be obtained with as few as 6 DWIs using only a few training datasets with high directional encodings.
